'''Thunderhead''' was a [[sporemind]] that existed in the early years of the ten thousandth century. It appeared dramatically above the city of [[Ar Belex]] within the [[Myg Rainforest]] in {{Year|6909}}, a dense mass of spores with the appearance of a cloud before a storm, the source of its name. It soon consumed the residents of Ar Belex, save for a few who were upwind and far enough away in the outlying farms, after which it grew mycelial networks following the city streets and canals and directed the spore-carried bodies of the inhabitants along them. Thunderhead's obsession with the patterns of the city led to it failing to expand, and by {{Year|6915}} it had dissipated and disappeared.

The '''Numen''' is a crashed [[aerolith]] in the center of the [[Shatter]], the island formed from said aerolith, and the [[sporemind]] that has taken up residence there.

== Description ==
The Numen is an island of stone and metal that rises out of the sea of the Shatter, visible from quite a distance from the light that reflects off the still-polished [[ansharite]]. Some soil has collected on it in the millennia since it landed and plants have grown atop that soil, but it remains still remarkably clean. It is roughly two miles in circumference, though its surface area is smaller than might be expected as its midpoint lies below the water and its western side long ago broke off and separated into the sea.

== Sporemind ==
Like all sporeminds, the Numen is fundamentally alien to other creatures. Its motivations, purpose, and actions are inscrutable, a matter not helped by its unwillingness to communicate, or at least in a manner that has been deciphered. Those who attempt to sail or swim to the Numen find themselves quickly under its sway, losing control of their actions and memory and only coming to their senses in another time and place. And yet it does not seem to harm those it does not assess to be a threat. The process of falling under its influence is rapid but not instantaneous - those who survived and returned from the process have described it as feeling like parts of their senses and perception of self were being sloughed away in parts, much like what has been reported by individuals who have briefly been under the control of other sporeminds before being freed. The Numen is the only sporemind known to do this with apparent willingness.

Nearly all people living in the cities of the Shatter, surrounding the Numen at a healthy distance, are under some degree of influence of the sporemind. Its latent touch most obviously takes the appearance of persistent spots of blood in both eyes that nonetheless do not inhibit vision.

== History ==
The origins of the Numen, the aerolith, are not widely known to the people of the Shatter or the surrounding [[Spine]]. It is broadly understood that it was constructed by the [[Eita|Eitans]], though to many this is merely an ancient people or place across the [[Na-Gaesa Ocean|sea]] of little relevance. Control of the asteroid was lost as it was entering the sky over the ocean - not an unknown occurrence, as others like [[Fires of Mlusna|Mlusna]] met the same fate - and it crashed into the archipelago with immense force, unmaking and reshaping the land and water alike.

While all factually true, there is more to the history of the Numen, as learned figures investigating the scholar-halls of the [[Cradle]] and [[Brightmarch]] have discovered. The aerolith, much larger than any others, was captured and carved under the direct supervision of the [[Lunar Mandate]] with the intention of shaping it into the crown jewel of the fleet of flying cities. Given the name '''Eis''', it was brought to [[Kishar]] while still incomplete. Even with the combined strength of the most skilled [[aerotheurgy|aerotheurges]], its descent quickly turned disastrous, and Eis struck the sea. Dating of these events is imprecise but was sometime around {{Year|0}}.

Centuries after its impact, as the islands-now-Shatter slowly recovered, a sporemind arrived at the aerolith. How is not certain, and neither is exactly when, but by the time the cities of the Shatter had reestablished themselves the sporemind, dubbed the Numen by the inhabitants of the islands, was already strong and rooted enough to have complete control of the aerolith and the seas around it.

The '''Ptolin''' {{Pronunciation|TOW-linn}} are a [[catfolk]] people of the [[Spine]]. Though they originally resided in the western mountains of the [[Spine (mountain range)|Spine]], the Ptolin were driven out of their traditional fog oases and into the [[Shatter]] after persistent conflicts with [[M-Taran]]. Today many act as mercenaries between the various city-states of the islands, using their well-honed skills to benefit their employers while also carefully maintaining a balance of power.

== History ==
Traditionally the Ptolin maintained semi-nomadic lifestyles in the westernmost stretches of the Spine, moving between seasonal camps in the lowlands and in the fog oases in higher elevations. As M-Taran expanded into their territories they presented the same offer to the Ptolin as they had to other peoples of the mountains - pay tribute in corvee labor and accept relocation when the empire deemed it necessary, and in return be left to their own means. To the Ptolin this was unacceptable. They prided themselves on their independence, and moreover held that forcing anyone to labor on behalf of anyone else was a great crime. Instead they turned towards guerilla warfare, harassing M-Taran armies as they moved through the mountains before retreating back to secret redoubts. While they were able to continue this war for decades, by the later years of the ninety-eighth century the Ptolin had been pushed back into a tiny remnant of their former territory. The outcome seeming obvious, most left the mountains and headed north, into the lowland rainforests and eventually to the Shatter. Most Ptolin now reside in and around the islands, though a small number are said to still remain in the mountains.

== Culture ==
The Ptolin are well-known and renowned for their martial ways. They greatly value physical prowess and ability in combat, and a great many join their various mercenary groups upon reaching adulthood. These mercenaries pledge their services largely to the city-states of the Shatter, though others sometimes find employment elsewhere in the [[Myg Rainforest]]. Unlike most other mercenaries and privateers of the islands, the Ptolin are generally regarded quite positively and as honorable allies or foes, with a high degree of discernment in for whom they work. They are careful to avoid upsetting the distributed balance of power in the Shatter too much, a goal made easier when the Ptolin often fight for opposing sides in any given conflict. Though their tactics were originally developed for hit and run combat in the mountains, they have managed to adapt to the semi-tropical islands and urban environments just as well.

Ptolin leaders are skilled warriors and tacticians who often live ascetic lives apart from those they govern. To the Ptolin it is a virtue to observe and know from a distance without becoming involved unless absolutely necessary, and so their leaders are frequently absent in day to day governance, instead letting their trusted underlings take control.

While the cuisine of the Ptolin has by now incorporated much influence from those around them in the Shatter, they still carry some traces of their past, such as their preference for game (especially boar and the like) and their conical clay cooking vessels, brought with them from the mountains. Meals in Ptolin houses and camps are both preceded and followed by elaborate tea ceremonies, especially when hosting guests, considered an important sign of hospitality.

The Ptolin consider it evil to force any individual to perform an action they do not want, and so have taken strong stances against the slavers of the Shatter, sometimes working against them even when not in the employ of the city-states. So strongly do they hold these beliefs that they apply it to all creatures, and as such have no pack animals, beasts of burden, or any animal agriculture whatsoever.

The '''Thoughtless Colossus''' is an immense [[mycomancy|mycomantic]] amalgam-form. A shambling fusion of flesh, bone, and fungus, the Thoughtless Colossus is all that remains of the [[Spine]] city-state of [[Bayokai]], which was transformed into the Colossus in the later years of the ninety-eighth century.

The Thoughtless Colossus has no fixed form, but rather stretches and contorts itself as needed. At rest it typically retracts into a relatively compact mass, a mound roughly fifty to eighty feet high, while in motion it elongates into a more slug-like form. As a living entity, the Colossus requires food and water, which it consumes through countless mouths that can be found across its surface. It is undiscriminating in what it eats, largely subsisting on whatever plant and animal life is unfortunate enough to be caught in its path.

Though evidently incapable of any means of coherent communication - setting aside the ceaseless moans, gasps, and wheezes from its thousands of mouths - the Thoughtless Colossus possesses at least some intelligence, as those who have unwisely tried to destroy it have learned. It remembers people, places, and objects of particular threat or nutrition to itself and avoids or returns to these based on past experiences. While the Colossus seems to have a distaste for saltwater, it is capable of swimming and surviving in it, and as such passes between the islands of the [[Shatter]] with some regularity.

'''Giants''' are one of the major ancestries found on [[Kishar]]. Giant heritages vary greatly from each other in form and appearance, to such a degree that giants of one heritage often consider themselves to have little in common with their kin of another. Nonetheless they are commonly grouped together by smaller folk, who often avoid giants due to their size and strength.

== Appearance ==
The only unifying aspect of giant-kind is their size. To take two examines, the [[Basharma]] giants of the [[Wounds]] and the [[Xuldorai]] of the [[Aban Steppe]] are physically, and physiologically, quite distinct, their height and bulk compared to those who live around them the only reason they are considered giants.

==Location==
Giants live across Kishar. They were historically especially prevalent around the [[Three Great Seas]], but the expansion of the societies of those smaller yet faster than them has led many giants cultures to be pushed to the margin. They still account for much of the population in [[Talgazan]], [[Abanir]], and other northerly regions of the world, as well as in [[Brightmarch]] and parts of the [[Laqto Rainforest]]. Elsewhere on Kishar, giants can be found across much of the [[Land of the Sun and Moon]], the [[Stormlands]], and to a smaller degree in the [[Spine]] and the [[Wounds]].

== Lifespan ==
The lifespan of giants varies wildly by heritage, but most are on the order of centuries.
