Cuivings > The Lost Home
The short Cuivings are wanderers by nature. Known for their long snout-like nose and tapering ears cuivings can be found all across the Avoa. This people does not know the meaning of city but prefer to roam the jungles following what they call The Winding Ways as nomadic hunters and gatherers.
 A core traditions in Cuiving culture is the Mourning of Olwiänewa, the Lost Home – a mythic paradise supposedly inhabited by the native people like Cuivings, Nennings, Skeygin, Blonians, Hvoves and a mysterious founding people known as the Gaujewendi or the Sacred Mothers. Ever since the destruction of Olwiänewa Cuiving shamans have mourned the loss of the old world with its innocence and peace, and in their songs and customs a thick melancholy has become the main theme. Cuivings believe the newcomers and most modern people are tainted by the Gleyk presence, and by performing cleansing rites they hope to rejuvenate the world from their sickness.
