Grisha. Shit, I forgot you guys probably don't have those, huh.
[ He sounds almost relieved tbh, it's good news for him. ]
Grisha are people born with the ability to manipulate stuff. Like fire or water or people's pulses and that kind of thing. In Ketterdam, most grisha end up indentured to merchers or sold off to slavers. In Ravka, they have an army of Grisha so most of 'em try to make it there. They teach you how to master your powers and all that stuff.
In Fjerda, grisha are seen as basically evil. They fear them for their powers and hunt them as witches because their god, Djel, says they're unnatural or something. A drüskelle is a kind of stick-up-their-ass warrior trained in hunting and killing grisha.
Basically, it's hard being a grisha unless you're Ravkan or you keep it quiet, you know what I mean?
