Utinus Domae Tribe¶
The Utinus Domae, the Sons of the Night, are a tribe of Boreal Elves in Etterwood. The tribe "is responsible for guarding northern borders of the forbidden forest", the corrupted heart of the wood around the ruins of Arne'Athosia, and in the Fifth Age war with Proturas "many of its warriors (allied with other Tribes) have been called south to fight the Proturans" (S059, S052 to S057).
Also called: the Sons of the Night.
Duty¶
The forbidden forest is the ground of the Elder God Teneb'Vari, whose corruption turns the creatures of the forbidden zone into the Scourged, at last undead "under the direct control of the spirit of Teneb'Vari", and "Teneb'Vari cultists have created a large underground network in the forbidden zone" (S056). The Utinus Domae keep its northern border. The tribe is named in a single line, repeated in each set of session notes from S052 to S059; the forest it guards is described on the Etterwood page.
The same notes say what the Boreal Elves make of the danger in their care. Corrupted beasts at their first stage avoid light and keep to the darker forbidden wood, and "Boreal Elves lure some out at night, leading them south … which they use as a buffer with the Proturans"; "Boreal Elven scouts are adept at leading / corralling monstrous entities into the southern forest edges" (S056, S055, S054, S053, S052). The notes do not say which tribe does this.
The war in the south¶
The tribe's warriors have gone south with others to fight Proturas, which has pushed its farms into the elves' southern forests. The war is told on the Boreal Elves page. In the Proturan Campaign the party, leaving Etterwood northward, was "pursued by a band of Boreal Elves tracking them" into the borderlands of the Urok'gar Confederation (S059).
Gap
The sources give the tribe's name, its byname and its post, and nothing else: no leaders, numbers, settlements, customs, or the meaning of the name. Boreal Elven tribal life in general is described on the Boreal Elves page.
