Roundstone Landscape

There are many landscape features marked on the map of the Roundstone Clan area which are important in the life and rituals of the clan. Landscape entities can be worshipped and grant minor abilities to their followers.

Each type of landscape feature has its own page:

Rivers and Streams

Monuments

Hills

Marshes

Woods

Caves

The information on Machun’s Marsh, Gallop, Singing Stream, Vinga’s Stone and Don’t Drink is adapted from Gavain Sweetman’s campaign set in the Roundstone Clan.

Roundstone Cults

The cults worshipped in the Roundstone Clan are not traditionally Orlanthi by 1616-17. The Lunar prohibition on Orlanth worship has begun to take effect especially amongst the more prominent members such as the clan ring. Other members of the clan still worship less militant aspects of Orlanth. Lunar forces have not taken much interest in these worshippers. Some warrior Orlanthi have taken to following the Heler the rain god.

Yinkin

There are a few worshippers of Yinkin – god of alynxes, hunting and sensuality – in the the Roundstone Clan. They have a shrine in the Midnight Grove in the woods that run along the stream called Witness. The worshippers in 1616 were:

• Soran Silvercat – an acolyte from Varnter’s Field
• Bastakus Greeneyes – an acolyte from Eye Stead
• Verlain Finewhiskers – an acolyte from Ravine
• Mora Nightcat – an acolyte from Methi Stead
• Argrande the Kitten – Initiate from Roundstone Stead.
• Garrath Lazycat – Initiate from Noble.

In 1616 Soran Silvercat is the greatest of them and guards the shrine. He rarely comes to the steads preferring to live alone in the woods. He can turn into a silver alynx.

Heler

In the old days there were few worshippers of Heler in the Roundstone Clan but the cult has become more popular with the banning of Orlanth worship. Aelith Ridge is sacred to Heler worshippers and certain of their ceremonies take place at the Bluestone Circle there. In 1616 they are lead by Leik the Priest who is a really a priest of Orlanth Thunderous aspect though he pretends otherwise to the Lunars. He is part of the clan ring. There is an actual Heler priestess from the Brygossi called Arena Blueface. She is 30 years old and is the daughter of Thane Ingan Oldhelm. She has never married  and is known for wandering the hills painted blue in her worship of the goddess. The initiates are (listing their social status and bloodline).
