The Codex
The world has rules. The supernatural operates according to documented principles: belief-based power systems, Progenitor lineages, the seven societies, and the mechanisms the Velum Institute has spent seven hundred years mapping.
Selected records have been cleared for external distribution. Additional documentation remains classified pending mandatory review cycles.
Tradition: Māori (2)
Patupaiarehe
The pale-skinned fairy people of Aotearoa who emerge at dusk, dawn, and in the mist: liminal-hours entities whose haunting flute music is the primary entrapment vector in high-altitude bush. Protective wards include fire, cooked food smell, and red ochre.
Taniwha
Powerful supernatural beings of Aotearoa who inhabit waterways and function as guardian, predator, or both: entities of place whose territorial covenants with affiliated iwi are living agreements that predate and supersede any standard OVM engagement framework.
