Stewards of the earth

The idea that the Fovos have ultimate authority over the physical earth on CA-5354 and everything that grows from it.

Deep magic, sometimes characterized as The Great Contract, places many limitations on the magic performed by The Fovos and the Animalia. Many of these boundaries were observed in an epic poem, which arose through The Erpo oral tradition during The Age of Turmoil. This is where the Stewardship of the Fovos is first explored. Here is a section from the poem: "The fair folk were given the earth, and the thistles that grow of it, for their claim was first, and stewardship of the foundations was their birthright. The badgers were given keeping of the contracts to bind the fair folk, for badgers do not desire power. The foxes were given magics - sorcery like no other animal that crawled on the planet or swam in the sea. The moles were given industry and the metals of the earth. The monkeys were given the power to bend objects to their will, but through their ambition and foolishness, it was soon all but taken away from them. The infernal ones were given the blessing of blood, which the fair folk fear and respect in equal measure.   The rabbits were given little but common magics, and so they stole in their ignorance…and paid for it. "The wolves were given the hunt and the hill, the forest, and the night.""The rats were given much to have and to keep, but it quickly turned to ashes in their mouths, and rot in their hands.""The birds were given strength and numbers, and strong talons with which to seek their food.""The bats were given the mountains, but soon abandoned them and took to the oceans.""The insects were handed doom, for wicked was their nature, and death was in their mouths.""The mice were cursed and blessed in equal measure, and are no more.'"
