==Kith Notes== [[File:EshuArt.jpg|275px|left|link=]] ===Appearance=== Eshu’s millennia of travel means they can possess nearly any racial or ethnic heritage, but their strongest mortal ties lie within the black, Arab, Persian, and Indian communities. They tend to have dark skin, with black or dark brunette hair, worn loose and natural or braided, twisted, or locked into intricate styles. They are typically tall, with long, graceful limbs, and have dark eyes that hint at the wisdom within. Eshu change their dress as they travel, either to blend in or make a statement, but are always carefully clothed in flattering, well-maintained styles. ===Lifestyles=== This wandering kith seldom stays in one place for long, but their method of travel and their living quarters vary based on the individual and the path they are currently traversing. An eshu may live in an RV for several weeks as he travels with a band across the Pacific Northwest, only to continue on foot, staying in cheap motels along the California coastline, then boarding a Greyhound to Las Vegas to stay in the penthouse of one of the finest casinos. The one constant is that all eshu are subject to their wanderlust and that wherever they go, they collect and share stories. ===Seemings=== ====Childlings==== Eshu childlings have just started building the volume of tales that they will carry for their lifetime, often beginning at home by collecting the stories of elders or important community members. For the young eshu childling, or for the eshu who awakened to his fae nature much later in life, the stability of family or community tempers the need to travel far and wide. They feel the call of the road, but haven’t disconnected themselves from all their mortal ties, as eshu wilders often do. They still value the feeling of having a “home base” to return to after each journey. ====Wilders==== An eshu’s wanderlust reaches its peak in her wilder seeming. No longer satisfied with hearing stories, she begins to seek out new sources and adventures, beginning a lifetime of travel. Eshu wilders seldom stay in one place for long, though they make their most of the time spent in any location, building as many connections as possible and learning all they can about local people and culture. Eshu wilders join social justice movements and sometimes even start them, using their innate storytelling ability to write speeches and protest songs that inspire others to join the cause. ====Grumps==== Eshu may move more slowly and deliberately, but they never really stop. An eshu grump places more value on the connections he forms, understanding that truly knowing someone’s story takes time. While grumps share the wilders’ social flexibility, they are less likely to incite a movement and more likely to support and encourage those already involved. No one’s stories match those of an eshu grump who has lived a long, rich life, and the wisdom in songs can move even the hardest heart to tears or jubilation. ===Revelry=== Eshu gather their Glamour from the storytellers and performers they encounter, finding intense joy in each new tale or song. Public performances like flash mobs or staged protests —particularly when the eshu has been pivotal in the planning process — provide a veritable feast. ===Unleashing=== Cantrips cast by eshu bring with them the chiming of bells and the echo of chanting or singing, as well as the faintest hint of spice in the air. Gleaming threads of golden light may briefly connect the eshu to the target of the cantrip, reflecting the eshu’s place in the great tapestry of history.
