The Children

The Children (in Pelavi djeca) are one of the most mysterious group within Pelavi society. They are exclusively composed of children of the age between 8 and 13, although some scholars argue those are not true children, just masking themselves as such. Their true nature is however a riddle for all the outsiders and to most of the Pelavies as well. The Children, while enjoying the hospitality of Pelavi, seem to be pursuing agenda of their own. And while they are not allies of Pelavi, nor hostile towards them, they did aid Pelavies on many occasions.

These creatures are said to have connection with the underworld, providing them with immerse power. They are known for conducting rituals before the battles and are only rarely seen alone, rather in groups of varying size (biggest reported group consisted of roughly 300 individuals).

Their activity can be divided into two periods, that switch irregularly: periods of sleep and periods of awakening. There is no known key to how the periods change, nor what causes this change.

While sleeping, The Children are well hidden from the sight of common folk. It is not known where they go, nor what do they do. There are just a few reported sighting of the children while sleeping, but those cannot be relied on, as eye witnesses were unable to agree on most of the details. It is believed that while majority of The Children is asleep, there are always a few individuals that are awake during these periods.

When awakened, The Children are demonstrating their presence and many times help Pelavies with their agenda at the moment, but this is not a rule. It is believed they have their own goal they pursue and aligning with Pelavies is mostly coincidental.
