Auteonic (culture)
The Auteonic people hail from the northern edges of the Greensea where the forest begins to thin and the trees are too weak to support large cities. As such, they prefer to live on the ground to be closer to Aeras without shoes to feel the pulse of the World Tree beneath their feet. Despite their homelands being sparse and icy, it is common for their villages to be surrounded by beautiful greenery. The Auteonic Magi are able to melt the snow and sprout grass from barren rock.
The Auteonics are a festive people with songs sung long into the night. Men and women weave blossoms into their hair and leaders host dances around branchless trees. They are often derided by the other Partic tribes who criticize their frivolity and lack of civic responsibility. Despite these claims, their chiefdoms are structured very similarly to the other Partic people, with a secular ruler advised by a council of druids. Many Auteonic druids have travelled to the World Tree to become members of the Arch-Council. Their Magi are no lesser than their brethren to the south, with the most powerful being able to decompose a man with a glance. Yet, Auteonic culture is full of love and laughter, and always willing to help a friend in need.
