Before Jaenelle Angelline, the most amount of information about kindred that the Blood had was that at some point, they existed. Their territories were closed, shrouded in a Crafted mist almost impenetrable by landens or Blood. After Jaenelle Angelline, however, the kindred began to come out and play. The general rule of thumb is that a kindred can live as long as their "landen animal" counterpart. For example, a Sceltie kindred dog would live as long as a regular dog.
It's important to note that there can be half-Blood kindred. However, it's relatively rare and not often heard of. Regular "landen animals" do exist amongst the Blood. The exceptions to these rules are animals like the Arcerian cats, the Fyreborne dragons, the unicorns of Sceval, the tigers, and the Arachna spiders. These animals are only kindred.

The Fyreborne
The Fyreborne are easily described as dragons. They have wings, spikes, scales and all. Not much else is known about them except that their territory is the Fyreborn Islands.
The Unicorns
The unicorns are amongst the most graceful and elusive of the kindred. Before Witch, very few Blood even believed that the unicorns still existed. They have glossy coats, shimmering eyes, can wear Jewels and hold castes just like any other kindred and Blood. Keep in mind that their horns are sharp as daggers and will strike you just as quickly. They reside in the territory of Sceval.
The Scelties
The Scelties- particularly a Sceltie dog named Ladvarian- were integral in creating and upholding dreams made flesh- Witch. Especially after the cleansing of the Blood, Witch needed strong dreamers to help her weave her body back together. The Scelties can be either horses or dogs. Horses can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, just like real horses. However, Sceltie dogs are typically described as having shaggy coats and being roughly the size of a sheepdog. These kindred reside in Scelt alongside Blood companions.
The Arcerian Cats
If you want to keep your skin, keep away from Arceria. Within this land are the Arcerian cats, a large breed of panther-like cats with pure white coats. Some markings can be found on the Arcerian cats, such as faded spots or stripes. They have dangerously sharp claws, and no one wants to be at the site of an Arcerian execution. These cats reside in Arceria, a land relatively close to Glacia.
The Tigers
The Tigers are close kin to the Arcerian cats. They make dens in Arceria and Glacia, though primarily reside in Glacia, and share the same white coat as Arcerians. However, their stripes are very prominent, and they never have spots. These cats are similar to the Arcerians in that they will not hesitate to execute a trespasser and can easily slice your skin with their razor-sharp claws.
The Arachnian Spiders
As legend goes, the Arachnian spiders are the first to begin to create the Blood after the passing of the dragons. These spiders are small and golden- though their Queen can be about the size of a twelve-year-old's fist. They are formidable weavers and are thought to be the first teachers of the Hourglass Craft. Similarly to the Sceltie dogs, they were the weavers of dreams made flesh, of Witch, and helped bring her to creation. Their territory, Arachna, is laced and weaved with dangerous webs capable of stripping any and all power and leaving a Blood as helpless as a landen, without even the most basic of Craft. Be careful, for these spiders can either hurt you greatly, or heal you beautifully.
