Nomadic artists
Lyra
The world is in a state of Tumult, but this is simply how it must be. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less. By accepting this truth, we can appreciate its beauty, its sublime nature. The world has always been ephemeral and changing, an infinite cycle of creation and renewal. This tendency has now simply become even more pronounced. We must celebrate and experience it one day at a time and not reject it. It's up to humanity to adapt, to let ourselves be transformed, and to pay tribute to our ever-changing world. And there's no better way to do this than through art in all its forms.
"The world is creation and transformation."
Nomadic artists
They are wanderers, storytellers and multifaceted artists, constantly in search of transcendence and the sublime. Through their unrestrained creativity, they touch the souls of those they meet and sustain themselves on every fresh interaction. While some may see them as temperamental individuals and slaves to their emotions, they don't realize that this is actually the source of their power, which they constantly draw from as if from a bottomless well.
As heirs to the first nomads to travel the world after the Confluence, they have adapted to the Tumult and see it as a source of unlimited creative potential. Through their travels, the Lyra Clans probably understood best what the Tumult truly represented: not a danger, but an opportunity to be seized, and one whose beauty stemmed from its ever-changing, ephemeral and tumultuous nature. Forever in search of unique and surprising encounters, the Lyra live to feel and experience the world through their senses in the hope that they will be transformed by it – and can themselves transform it in return.
The Ouroboros
The Ouroboros is one of the nine Sahankas, nomadic cities that travel around the peninsula. It is the Bastion of the Kasirga, one of the nine Lyra Clans. The Ouroboros is a flying ship made from aerolite that sits in the center of a ring representing a spinning snake. It accommodates nearly 1,000 travelers who are accustomed to living at altitude. Their homes are built around a levitation-stone core with a stationary ship-shaped frame. It contains a maze of ladders, stairs, platforms, beams and footbridges, all of which combine to form a true city with monuments, a town hall, suspended urban centers, and more. Like the flocks of migratory birds that accompany this colossal floating caravan, the members of the Kasirga clan have learned to master the airborne lifestyle. Many of them are experts at acrobatics, aerobatics and balancing acts.
