Mora Gypsies

Jump to Subpage in A Quest of Queens Table of Contents

These ancient people can be found all over the world, from Idania to Altea to the Old Country and the far north. Scholars trace their origin to Mordavia in particular, and believe their geneaology dovetails with that of the High People.

The Mora gypsies worship the tripartite deity called the Mora, and thus their connection to the land is stronger than any other people besides the Yevim. They generally do not establish permanent homes, and instead choose to travel together in caravans living off the land. Because of their faith in the tripartite deity, their seers are sometimes gifted with a third prophetic sight that allows them to see into the future.

Story Hooks

The Mora gypsies are not a monolith, though they share a common mythology that revolves around the Mora goddesses. Because they can be found all over the world, you can make them as varied culturally as all the geographical locations they may reside in.

The two key locations in the world where the Mora are most active, however, are Idania and the Old Country. In Idania, the Mora are persecuted by imperial inquisitors for their belief in the Elder gods, and rebel against the Emperor by serving Lady Katreus and Lord Zoltan. In the Old Country, they struggle to protect ancient secrets from prying eyes, while being subject to vindictive whims of the rulers of the Barony. If there’s anything the Mora have in common across multiple realms, it’s their perseverance.
