Damhsóirí Corda (Cord Dancers) A people native to the highlands of [[Clairhiel]], they are traditionally shepherds of the massive goats native to the area and farmers of native textile grasses. The tribes are matriarchal and known for their exquisite weavings. Most women in the tribes are spellcasters, but do so through the use of knotted cords - each intricate knot is tied in preparation to hold the magics of a single spell. Additionally, they have developed a unique form of ritual casting similar to how a witch coven can perform rituals. The women dance in a seemingly endless tangle of cord, but a careful eye will pick out that the dance is actually an intricate example of knot tying, and the result of what first appeared to be a tangle is a complex, organized knot network capable of immense power. ![[Damhsóirí Corda1.jpg]] Some members may become Damhsóirí Lann (Blade Dancers), the spiritual warriors of the tribes. Typically clad in straight, long, heavy skirts with knotted cords tied at various points. The most common weapon used by these warriors is the scythe. ![[Damhsóirí Corda2.jpg]]
