While the Wychlaran serve Rashemen as judges, rulers, priests, and warriors, men with spellcasting ability are segregated from their kin as Vremyonni, or "Old Ones." Divine spellcasters such as clerics or druids are not required to set themselves apart in this way, but Rashemi expect Wychlaran to placate the spirits and intercede with the gods, so male clerics or druids do not have a role in society. Most become hermits or eventually join a berserker lodge (after multiclassing as barbarians) and become advisors to these elite brotherhoods.
Men who happen to be arcane spellcasters have no such option. They must secret themselves among the hidden villages and cavern strongholds of the Vremyonni, or they must leave Rashemen. To refuse this command is death. Most Old Ones accept this as the way of things and do not begrudge their seclusion. In their hidden refuges, they become expert weaponsmiths and item-crafters, creating potent magic weapons for the Berserkers and Wychlaran in defense of the land. On very rare occasions, When Rashemen faces the direst threats, Vremyonni take the field and march to war alongside the Wychlaran. Masked like their Hathran sisters, each binds himself to a Hathran with a short length of silken cord, and the paired spellcasters work as deadly teams.
