The Sward domain consists in the low-lying, verdant places of the world, where the fresh water rains from the sky or flows down from the mountains. Swardfolk tend to feel at home on the prairies, valleys, savannahs, plains, and temperate forests of the world.

Water-charged magic — or ichor — quenches the thirst of the Sward. Water-charged Swardfolk, also called Beastfolk, include kindreds with affinities for animals, whose lives are sustained through the ichorial phenomenon of blood absorbing food and air.

Wood-charged magic — or soma — grows from the bounty of the Sward. Wood-charged Swardfolk, also called Treefolk, include kindreds with affinities for plants, whose lives are sustained through the somatic phenomenon of photosynthesis absorbing light and air.
