Editing Isan Reni (section)

=== Laced Society ===
The Laced live in small, semi-nomadic communities that follow the seasonal bloom patterns of the Velshi across the fissure networks [1]. They tend to be quieter, more communal, and less confrontational than underground Reni — a behavioral shift that the underground population attributes entirely to the spores' psychoactive effects [1]. They practice a form of group meditation near active Velshi colonies, which they describe as "listening to the veil," claiming to receive impressions, warnings, and guidance from the fungal network [1]. Their social structure is loosely egalitarian, decisions made by a felt sense of consensus rather than the rigorous public debate that governs the cavern cities below [1].
