Cradle System

47.205.55.84: /* Parts of the Cradle System */

This is the official name of the solar system containing the Eldritch homeworld. (Registered by them with the Alliance by its [[Eldren]] name, "Vuna", cradle.) Naturally, the Universal word stuck for most of the charts.

I don't have a name for the Sector it's in. I should make one up once I figure out how many greek letters I ran through before I gave up and started naming sectors in Hebrew.

==Parts of the Cradle System==
*[[Escutcheon]]
*The moon with the thing on it.
*The sun
*The asteroid belt
*[[Outermost Wing]] (not to be confused with the [[Almost Farthest Wing]]
* there's now a space station I should name it too

There are also now several small mining stations in the asteroid belt, according to Dragons' Fealty. Maybe decide on the number.

Escutcheon

47.205.55.84:

[[File:Eldritchseaboard.jpg|300px|thumb|right|the northern seaboard]]

The homeworld of the [[Eldritch]] and the capital of their Empire. It is located in the [[Cradle System]].

==Vital Statistics (At a Glance)==
Pronounced ''ehs KOO chuhn''. Possessive is ''Escutcheon's''. Demonym is ''Eldritch''.
* '''Major Populations:''' ''Eldritch''
* '''Type:''' ''Homeworld''
* '''Population:''' ''[an approximate number]''
* '''Gravity:''' ''low'' (lower, in fact, than the Chatcaavan throneworld's, though "not by much") <ref name="hw-16">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', Chapter 16</ref>
* '''Native Language:''' ''Eldren''

The Queen's Tams have a moonbase (the Farthest Wing), so presumably Escutcheon has at least one moon. :-) <ref>Laisrathera, chapter 12</ref>

==Calendar==
As far as I know, the Eldritch calendar was never codified anywhere, so I am taking an arbitrary stab at it and hope I haven't contradicted myself somewhere:

*'''Days in Week''': 6
*'''Weeks in Month''':
*'''Months in Year''':
*'''Seasons''': the populated part of Escutcheon has four seasons, with hot summers and cold winters, moderated at Ontine by its proximity to the sea.<ref name="rp-2">''[[Rose Point (Fiction)|Rose Point]]'', Part Two</ref> In the autumn, some leaves change colors,<ref>''[[Heartskein (Fiction)| Heartskein]]'', chapter 1</ref> and then drop.<ref name="rp-2" /> Late spring is described as "verdant".<ref>''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction)| Healer's Wedding]]'', Prologue</ref>

===Fauna===
====Native====
* ice deer
* northern mist bears
* thicket boars (hunted by Lisinthir with a spear) <ref name="ar-04">''[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction) | Amulet Rampant]],'' Chapter 4</ref>
* crystalwings, the butterfly things Sediryl mentions at the beginning of ''Girl on Fire''. <ref name="gof-01">''[[Girl on Fire (Fiction) | Girl on Fire]]'', Chapter One</ref> (Also mentioned in ''Healer's Wedding'', when Jahir takes KindlesFlame for a ride.) <ref name="hw-18">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) | Healer's Wedding]]'', Chapter 18</ref>

* basilisks: Basilisks are twice their size, and mesmerized with their minds. <ref name="fc-09"/>
::Jahir says to Lisinthir: "Their powers were not exaggerated. The chimera project terror and helplessness and despair. The basilisks can pin bodies in place, and it is not solely petrification of the mind... it has hallmarks similar to your talents, cousin." <ref>''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', Chapter 11</ref>

====Imported====
*[[Grand Galactic Chicken]]<ref>''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 11</ref>

===Flora===

* Merry-hither: Lisinthir "plucked a yellow merry-hither, and tucked it into [the Queen Ransomed's] hair". <ref>''Farmer's Crown'', chapter 1</ref>

==People and Society==
See [[Eldritch]], [[Eldren]], [[Customs]]

Typical population breakdown in provinces is for 5% of the population to be of noble families, 5% of them to be used as guards or priests, and the remainder tenants. Of the tenants, 5-10% at any time might be involved in maintaining the estates of the noble families, and serving in their manses.

===Education===
*Sediryl had suffered less exacting preceptressess (than [[Auniira Qodii Podeqai|Auniira]]) in her youth, laboring through her deportment classes. <ref name="apl">''[[In the Court of Dragons (Fiction) |In the Court of Dragons]]'', "All Paths Lead"</ref>
*Teaching methods vary throughout the populace: there are apprenticeships, and small, informal lessons, and tutors, and in the city, the only schools.
*Eldritch schools meet every other day.
*The schools in the capital teach both Universal and Eldren.
*After the reading and writing lessons there was recess. The afternoon lesson was in figuring.
*The class that [[Jedan Paunene Fareniil|Jedan]] and [[Aunal]] visit in the capital has twelve children in it. Their teacher is Mistress [[Benila]].
*The school was a small building in a row of larger buildings, but it had a respectable yard with several trees for climbing, and shady spots for gatherings on blankets, and flowers and shrubs to attract wildlife. <ref name="apl" />

Osin (Eldritch Family)

2021-08-18T13:36:44Z

47.205.55.84: /* Landmarks */

The second most powerful family of the [[Asaniefa (House) | Asaniefa House]]. Now scattered.

==At a Glance==
* Population:
* Lands: North of Galare, on the coast
* Politics: Isolationist
* Heraldry:
* Status: Defunct

==History==

==Assets==

==Landmarks==
The Osin tenant village looks "a lot like" the ones Sediryl grew up seeing. There's a town center, with buildings around it, and a community garden. There are 41 people in this village, and they did not leave when Asaniefa was disbanded. They are led by Othise Mara Osin, and are stubbornly independent. They still take care of their clothes, patchwork as it is, and put ribbons in their hair.

Eren is the man who showed Jahir around to the various villagers to check their health.

After the events leading up to Sediryl's investiture, the villagers acquire:
* 2 roosters and 6 hens
* seeds for onions, peppers, sweet potatoes, squashes, beans
* a data tablet (for Othise)
* a public information kiosk <ref>Farmer's Crown, Chapter 4</ref>

Two died during the chimera and basilisk attack, which would put the count down to 39. Two were seriously injured (one was being eaten alive!) but both were saved by the efforts of the personnel at Shield General. Several more were wounded, but were treated on site. <ref>Farmer's Crown, Chapter 9</ref> After the attack, they also acquire:

* 4 dogs (2 tall sighthounds, 2 thickly furred sheepdogs)

In Dragons Fealty we learn some tenant names, so make a tenant section:

* an infant daughter to Witheria and Paron
* an infant son to Vira and Telfen

Plus the dogs have names:
* six new puppies born of dam Far Eyes and sire Stubborn as the Day is Long
