Remnari Enclave

A shattered remnant of hope for the orphaned Remnari people, the Enclave once thrived as a sanctuary suspended in Rolaraspace. It stood as a beacon of unity, culture, and survival. Powered by a Mythallar and controlled by a bio-locked, modified Spelljammer Helm, the Enclave served as a cultural and organizational hub for the Remnari scattered across the Astral Sea. , in 1531 PE, it was decimated by a deadly assault from a small, elite unit of Astral Elves of the Solinari Dominion. Though both sides perished in the confrontation, the Enclave remains a symbol of resilience and loss for the surviving Remnari. The sole known survivor, Ami, now seeks vengeance and has vowed to reclaim the Enclave's legacy.

Structure

The Enclave was led by a group of four Exemplars, representatives chosen based on merit and significant contributions to the Enclave. These Exemplars upheld the balance between preserving tradition and fostering progress. Supporting them, specialized committees managed education, defense, and cultural activities. The role of the Enclave's Spelljammer, though lacking formal leadership duties, held a prestigious position akin to a ship's captain, given their expertise in both magic and astral navigation. After the tragedy, Ami now claims authority over the remnants of the Enclave and its scattered survivors.

Culture

Cultural Foundations

Survival, self-discovery, and reverence for names and identity defined the cultural heart of the Remnari. As refugees from a lost world, the Remnari preserved their fragmented history through sacred naming traditions and ancient rituals. Names were more than mere identifiers; they represented an individual's essence across past, present, and future.

Naming Traditions

Each Remnari name comprises three elements that reflect both personal and communal identity:

Given Name:

Chosen by parents or guardians to embody the qualities they hope the child will manifest (e.g., Lyr for 'light' or Toren for 'strength').

Lineage Name:

Passed through generations, this name ties an individual to their family's history and legacy (e.g., Stellara, Voidweaver).

Astral Epithet:

Selected upon reaching adulthood, this name symbolizes one’s unique journey and aspirations within the Astral Sea (e.g., Skyseeker, Starborn).

Rituals and Ceremonies

Naming holds profound spiritual significance among the Remnari and is central to their cultural rites. The 'Rite of Echoing,' conducted under the astral skies, celebrates the bestowal of a new name and affirms the individual's place within the cosmic tapestry. Community members gather to witness and honor this pivotal moment, while the Astral Epithet is revealed in a separate rite upon reaching maturity.

Cultural Practices

The Remnari crafted arcane artifacts and documented their astral journeys while remaining open to new experiences and knowledge. Strong bonds often formed among travelers who sought refuge within the Enclave's halls. Before the tragedy, Ami, a Remnari who lived on the Ground of Rolara, shared knowledge with the Enclave, bridging the divide between his people in Rolaraspace and those settled on the Ground.

The presence of Ami, a Remnari who lived on the Ground of Rolara, added a new perspective to the Enclave's traditions. Before the massacre, he had begun exchanging knowledge with the other Remnari, bridging the gap between those on the Ground and those adrift in Rolaraspace.

Public Agenda

The Enclave's primary mission was the preservation of Remnari culture and the establishment of a permanent home. They aspired to one day settle on the Ground of Rolara, where they might escape the dangers of Rolaraspace. However, with the destruction of the Enclave, this dream has been deferred. Ami’s current agenda includes seeking justice against the Astral Elves of the Solinari Dominion and protecting what remains of his people's legacy.

Assets

The Enclave's Core:

A powerful Mythallar that once sustained the fortress’s magical infrastructure.

Modified Spelljammer Helm:

Bio-locked to the designated captain, the helm allowed for astral navigation and control of the Enclave’s systems.

The Stone of Endurance:

The asteroid housing the Enclave remains a strategic asset, though its defenses were compromised during the assault.

Arcane and Cultural Artifacts:

A collection of enchanted relics, holographic records, and other cultural heirlooms, many of which were lost or damaged in the battle. Those that remain, are locked behind the Mythallar's magic.

History

Founding and Early Years

The Enclave was established by the first groups of Remnari to reunite in the Astral Sea. They discovered the asteroid, its origins unknown, and adapted it into a self-sustaining fortress. The modified Spelljammer Helm allowed them to traverse Rolaraspace in search of lost kin and potential refuge.

Golden Era

During its prime, the Enclave flourished as a center of learning, cultural preservation, and interstellar diplomacy. The council of elders maintained alliances with other astral factions while ensuring the safety and education of their people. At its height, the population reached over 400 Remnari.

The Tragedy of 1531 PE

The Enclave’s peace was shattered when a small strike force of Astral Elves from the Solinari Dominion attacked without warning. The exact reasons for this aggression remain unclear, but rumors suggest that the Solinari view the Remnari as monsters. The battle was fierce; neither side survived the confrontation. Ami, who arrived shortly after the massacre, discovered the scene of mutual annihilation. He found a crystal longsword, left by a fallen Remnari, still embedded in the last Astral Elf’s body—a grim testament to the final stand.

Aftermath and Current Era

Ami, now the sole survivor connected to the Enclave, has taken upon himself the burden of leadership. He aims to rebuild the Enclave’s influence and avenge his fallen kin. Knowing that other Astral Elves still pose a threat, Ami seeks allies and resources to continue the fight for his people's survival.

Legacy

The Remnari, though decimated, lives on in the memories of its survivors and the cultural artifacts scattered across Rolaraspace. It is a reminder of the cost of survival in the astral currents and a symbol of hope for a future where the Remnari might finally find peace.
