The First Folk are a legendary, pre-humanoid civilization. They are believed to be the earliest intelligent beings to inhabit the @The Great Expanse , existing long before the rise of the Eldritch Knights or the founding of Veridian. They left behind no written language, only colossal, weathered structures and enigmatic stone carvings that defy modern understanding. Their settlements, such as the @The Whispering Cairns of the First Folk , are often found in the most remote and ancient parts of the world, shrouded in a strange, primal magic. Lore suggests that they did not manipulate magic like later peoples, but rather lived in harmony with it, viewing the world itself as a living, sacred entity.
