Pact of the Foundling Profession in Cairne | World Anvil

Pact of the Foundling

The Orphan is by far one of the most unique of the powers of Cairne, as no one has ever been able to place exactly what she is or was. The creature is aloof and eternally young, a free spirit that holds no counsel but that of her own whims and desires. From her sanctuary at Foundling Glade, she watches the world move and shift, careful to only make her presence known to those that catch her attentions, which are impossible determine as any one thing, way, or vision. There is a sense of chaos about this power, and while there is no direct malice to the games she plays, there is nothing necessarily benign about it either.   The power of the Orphan is that of the realm of dreams itself, and the ability to manifest that power through the Artist's vision into the waking world. There is great power in this, and most artists resonate with this energy very well already. What the Orphan asks in return is never any one standard beyond the fact that she is eternally lonely. While there remains no other soul at the Foundling Glade, no artist that completes their terms with her is ever seen within the waking world again, though on occasion, they have been known to be seen within the dreams of those that knew them long after their disappearances.
