Vajebnie

The Vajebnie /va.ˈje.pnie/ are an order of lesser dieties that act as servents to the gods. The Vajebnie are tree spirits that have the form of men or women, albeit with their own idiosyncratic features that may cause them to look unhuman. The exact abilities of an individual Vajebnie depends heavily on what type of tree it is associated with and which god it serves.

Etymology
The Old Tuura term vaipni is from Proto-Sumric *vaepne (cf Hajec Vaepn and Old Sumrë Vaipni) which itself is from Proto-Sumric *va- (“prefix which forms names of groups associated with the noun”) and *epne- (“seed”) (cf Hajec epn (“seed”), Old Tuura iebnie (“seed”) and Old Sumrë ipni (“seed”)).

Origin
The Vajebnie were created by the Fate Buojaṡd when he gathered the seeds of fourteen trees and spread them across the eight realms. From each seed an immortal tree grew. Each tree bore fruit and from each fruit emerged a Vajebnie. When the Vajebnie emerged they each devoted themselves to a god, acting as servents and followers of that god.

Character and Traits
The traits and abilities of each Vajebni dpeends heavily on which tree they were born from and also which god they serve. Each of the fourteen trees has its own associated traits and abilities, they also have associated animals which the Vajebnie can shapeshift into. The Vajebnie are divided into fourteen subsets based on the trees that they originate from. The name of each subset comes from the tree name compounded with iṡi "colony".
