Shaman

The Casanii hold great faith in the powers of the peloaan, spirits who live throughout the lands and who will protect those who honour the land but curse and bring harm upon those who would threaten it. There are those who are blessed to follow the path of the shaman and walk with the spirits. They are treated with cautious respect by their tribe-mates, but are still expected to join the hunts and prove themselves. The shaman will carve spirit symbols into stones for protection and to communicate with those who pass that way. The symbols are filled with carefully prepared mixtures that are believed to attract the peloaan and these faintly glowing symbols can be seen where the Casanii tribes have passed. The shaman trade small carved spirit stones with travellers to protect them on their way.

Across the different fubarnii races there are eccentrics. For the Casanii those are often the shaman. As with all Casanii they will have spent their time as ferals, but they would find their own way to prove themselves. On return to the tribe they may be recognised by an older shaman and given the focus and the training to ‘commune with the peloaan’. Acting as healers and guides, they are part of the family/tribe, but slightly separate.
