Separate from any princedom is Goddess Keep, the home of the Sunrunners, or "faradh'im", who are governed by the Lord or Lady of Goddess Keep. Sunrunners each have a unique pattern of colors – described by the jewels associated with the color – which they weave into the light. On the light Sunrunners can communicate with each other over vast distances, watch or spy on the doings of others, and cast spells. Sunrunners can also call air and fire and conjure images using these abilities. As a Sunrunner learns more skills they receive rings. There are ten levels of "faradhi" rings. Full Sunrunners become violently ill while crossing water and will die if pierced by iron while casting. Most Sunrunners' greatest fear is to become Shadow Lost – the failure to return to one's body before the sun sets.
