Homeless Stuff

• Perna:  Air sprites come out after dusk from the East (away from where the sun set) and call to the Cloud Worms to come out and play with them in the night air.  When Cloud Worms get damp in clouds they produce a vapor that the sprites love to frolick in.  This vapor when inhaled or otherwise put in your blood stream 'highlights' your sins to your body, if they are horrid enough you have a full case of Rogue's Blood where your body rejects your blood, in this case it is uncurable.  The vapor when intaken by an average person is still harmfull in that their actions are contrasted with one of unfailling purity, so they will not contract Rogue's Blood but the slight new friction between blood and body will affect some ailments in the long run especially if this intake of vapor is repeated.  The sprites are the dead reincarnations of the Goddess which never rejoined with her so they are considered supremely pure and take joy in flaunting it in the night vapors from the Cloud Worms.  Durring these night flaunts it is possible to capture some vapor so that when the sprites retreat west away from the coming dawn it does not go with them out into the void as they want it to.  In the void the vapor eats away at tainted souls or parts of souls and 'cleanses' the void until it has dissapated too thin to acomplish any more.  At dawn once the sprites stop calling to them the Cloud Worms (looking much like long grains of silver rice) Port back to their respective grey dens in the marble floor of Perna reforming the silvery veins in the marble (grey veins are long dead worms and tend to cover the surface).  All sprites and pixies flee before dawn because when the sun casts light on them their God or Goddess realizes their existence and is jealous in their freedom to enter Her Realm and so punishes them by reclaiming them into Herself and therefore banishing them from the Realm forever, just as She is banished.
