The Unbridled
The Unbridled, the Unbound, the Meldlings. The capricious prior masters of the Mystletainn cradle region, the unbridled are a class of beings epitomized by their lack of structure. Where the fey they displaced are bound by aeons of strictures and whose most flippant word concocts a binding promise, the unbridled have a flighty nature and their only promises are those borne of a deep emotional connection. Their boundless potential extends beyond their actions; their refusal to conform includes their bodies, which have myriad forms but often include parts and pieces from of all manner of creature. Furthermore, even the lines between individuals may be blurry for the unbound, as they have the ability to cohabit and merge their bodies or even their minds and souls.
As a family, the Unbridled have a large part played in the history of the known world. The basic knowledge of this is that they claimed right of Rulership from the fey in what's now considered the year 0 UR (Unbridled Reckoning but lost control to the smaller and more constrained humanoids around year 1000 UR (depending on the region). There are still some purely unbridled settlements around, though they're now usually nomadic or well-hidden.
