Description

The kaya are nomadic tribes that travel the Land of Wood and act as caretakers of nature. Young kaya are taught philosophy, magic, and worldly skills. At adulthood they choose a nature and learn to specialize in that type of magic. They can still cast other spells, they are just better at the one that called to them during their naming ceremony. Over time and as they gain in power they change appearance to reflect their nature. Each type allows a specific Higher Purpose (up to 3 levels) and a 5 point Talent that includes up to 5 skills. This can make them very good ( +7!) at their specialty!
