Wellborn
The Wellborn are the White Blood Cells of the Cosmos, born from the catastrophic Sundering of the Wells during the Elemental Epoch. They are the Arbor's vital fluids—its Humors—given sentience to seal breaches, purge infections, and maintain the flow of cosmic life. Their existence is a biological imperative made manifest.

|---|---|
| physicality_appearance | The Law of Viscosity: A Wellborn exists as a "Sapborne" vessel—a semi-permeable husk containing a high-pressure core of living Humor (Argent, Azure, Vert, Gules, or Sable). They are defined by leakage. Droplets of essence constantly weep from their joints and brow, necessitating environments of stone, glass, or treated ceramic that can be easily cleansed. |
| The Law of Coagulation: They persist through a cycle of Curing. A nascent Wellborn is a "Spiller"—fast, fluid, and uncontained. As they endure, their Humor thickens. An elder is a slow, armored fortress of calcified resin. | |
| The Rite of Liquefaction: This curing is reversible through total immersion in their originating Font, which dissolves the hardened crust and restores fluidity. Ultimately, however, the vessel calcifies beyond recovery, becoming a statue-husk that the spirit must abandon to forge a new form. | |
