Kiths

Kiths

This page lists all available Seemings and Kiths and their standard blessings. For High Wyrd blessings and curses, see the High Wyrd page. For full details of the kiths, including typical appearances, please see the pages of the books referenced by each entry.

Certain kiths, created later in the book series, do not have High Wyrd blessings. If your primary is one of these, and you have an idea you would like to pitch to staff, please send up a +req/fae with your suggestion.

Remember: even if you have multiple Kiths, you can only ever have one Seeming. You gain the bonuses from your primary Kith's Seeming, plus the kith bonuses of any other Kiths you may have through the Dual Kith merit, Wyrd Evolution or the Pilgrims of the Endless Road Entitlement.
