Established Lore
During roleplay and in backstories much lore has been established that changes or extends the official Golarion canon. This page lists some details that may be relevant to character interactions or session planning.
Ancestries
Fetchling
Origin
Fetchlings evolved in the Shadow Plane, but many have also settled in the material world. All that currently live in Onadbyr are from a village in an unspecified location, established by fetchlings that fled the Shadow Plane during the Collapse. Future fetchlings may originate from the same village (please contact Unseelie for details), or may be from an entire different location.
Culture
Not much has been established regarding the culture of fetchlings, since all resident ones mostly adapted to the practices of Onadbyr. It has come up that the name "Kayal" for fetchlings is known to them, but they have not shown any specific preference on how they want to be called.
Language
Shadowtongue is mostly based on Finnish, though this is not a hard rule for future fetchling players. It has also been implied that the human ancestors of fetchlings spoke a language resembling German.
The language has words for grey/white hair from age that differs from the colour descriptor, also implying the texture difference. Though even for fetchlings it is hard to visually tell apart hair greyed by age from the almost white hair of especially light haired fetchlings.
Biology
The inner parts of fetchlings are as colourless as their hair and skin. This means they blush and bleed grey.
Shadow
Fetchling shadows start out as non-sapient and barely sentient, slowly developing more independence over time together with getting the ability to touch solid objects. Fetchlings from the above-mentioned village usually refer to their shadow as it/its, with only very few shadows showing a preference for different pronouns once they are sapient enough to understand the concept.
It appears that a fetchling growing their personal power accelerates this process. Mechanically this is represented by the various shadow-related ancestry feats.
Fetchlings in Onadbyr
As of Winter 225, there are two fetchlings living in Onadbyr, the twin sisters Tarina and Taso Autio.
Calender
Each month in real life matches one season consisting of 90 days in Kelek. The game started in Spring 223 (March 2023). It is therefore currently Summer 231.
