Lythes

Lythes are a fictional species appearing in the fantasy novel "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. They are described as beings who exist in a parallel dimension or realm, interacting with the primary world through specific points of access. Lythes are generally depicted as ethereal and powerful, often associated with ancient magic and forgotten lore. Their nature is not fully understood within the narrative, and they are rarely encountered directly by the protagonists.

The primary characteristic of Lythes is their ability to influence the world of mortals through subtle means. They are not typically portrayed as physical combatants but rather as entities that can manipulate events or perceptions from their own realm. Their motivations are often enigmatic, and their interactions with the human characters are infrequent and impactful. The concept of Lythes serves to deepen the sense of mystery and ancient power within the world of Temerant. They represent a force beyond mortal comprehension, hinting at a larger, more complex cosmology than is immediately apparent. Their presence adds a layer of otherworldliness and ancient magic to the narrative.
