Winged: Lost

Following the Second Parliament of The New Age, House Raptor have begun to kindly accept the deceased Lost into their number. Perished Souls who were never sent to their Patron, these Lost have escaped, and some still "live" inside a colossal Gilded Cage at the center of The Dream (previously, within the Abyss). Although many are warlike and hateful of their living descendants, many more simply want to exist outside of confinement, and The House of Raptor have given them that blessing.
Soon after, other Coteries started accepting Lost into their homes: the Green, Wavefarers, and Riverstates.

Common knowledge about Lost is vague and small: they were once average Winged, who died, and their souls were collected in the Cage; the Cage was owned and ran by the Xenos; something in the Cage destroys Lost as part of some mechanism.
Lost find it hard to exhibit emotion, and many find singing hard, if not impossible; they describe an experience not unlike the cold of the Abyss when they wake; some claim they have no Souls.
Lost can repair damage to their forms very quickly - it is unlike flesh; not all Lost are bloodthirsty - they are a people, and some want revenge for their deaths and others just want an existence.

This page serves as a list of all playable Lost so far.
The following Coteries can recruit the following Lost:

• Riverstates: Lost
• Wavefarers: Great Awks
• Green: Lost, Bustards
• Raptors: Everything except Bustards & Great Awks
  

It is possible at some point, following player action, the Lost may become a full-fledged faction.

The Lost (Lost)


Any Winged can die. A Winged whose Soul is neither consumed nor given to their Patron finds themselves fodder in the Cage. Some want revenge. Some want to live again. Some want to fade away. After all, they are just people.
Although there are now Lost returning their homes in every Cotery, the Raptors are the only ones to accept The Lost as their own kind, and give them positions within their Society...

Dodo (Lost)


Relations of the Pigeons, the Dodos were lore-hungry scholars, determined to mine history and secrets from the world, with legitimate means, subterfuge, or a Knife. Something went wrong, and human dreams overwhelmed them. Or the Cats.

Bustards (Lost)

Once proud members of the Green, the British Bustards were peaceful plainspeople - pacifistic crafters and farmers, whose life meshed well with the Grouse. But the Bustards peaceful ways made them perfect targets for attacking Coteries, and with the rise in human dreams of firearms, they found themselves hunted to death. Their place in The Green was ritually filled by the Cappercailies, who did little to reflect the Bustards' peaceful ways.
Returned, the Bustards simply want life, craft and existence... but are saddened that they have been replaced by monsters.

Caracara (Lost)

Described in texts as "Vile", "Ill-Tempered" and "Evil", Caracara were close to both the Vultures and Buzzards: Raptors of a military bent who used their cruelty as both an art form and a way of chanelling their bile. Argumentative, ill-tempered, and ambitious, the Caracara attempted various uprisings in their Houses, and dwindled in numbers as the other Raptors fought back. The final known Caracara was Tenebrae Fols, acting Conductor of the 1888 Parliament.

Moa (Lost)

Alchimerists and herbal seers from the early times, the Moa lived in symbiosis with the Raptors: the Raptors protected them, in exchange for the Moas' lives. Their proficency with emotion manipulation and alchimery have led many to believe that Moas are the originators of many song structures used today to shape the Dream. When human Dream power rose, the Raptors retreated, their most Ancient Eagles fell, and so did the Moa with them.

Great Auks (Lost)

Ancestors of the Puffins before they became the Blissful little busybodies of today, Great Auks were masters and mistresses of the tumult. Sirens, Courtesans and Celebrants of Emotion, Auks took the power of the tumult and used it to fulfill their dreams, wants and needs. Crafters of Stories and Songs, the Auks surrounded themselves with beautiful things and people, and cared not for the worlds outside their porcelain temples...

The Auks ceased to be when most of their kind turned to Bliss, and the rest left to find greater comfort outside the Tumult, never to return.
Following the actions of the Puffins of the Wavefarer Ships Bounty & The Fool's Errand, Captain Jim Ross officially gave sanctuary to a number of Lost Auks. Now they are reunited with their Descendants, and returned to a world of beautiful physical possibilities.
