Gu'udra

A Vordunni word commonly translated as "place."

Description
When a Vordun is unable to be apprenticed, they are sent from their community to wander and find their purpose, or place. Usually they remain within their tribal land, but sometimes they range far afield. They do not stop until they discover their gu'udra. If a young Vord is unable to find a mate or complete their apprenticeship, they will be sent to seek their gu'udra.

Under most circumstances, only young single Vord become Gu'udra Ha (Seekers). On occasion, in hour of great need, an older individual will be sent on a quest to find an item, a new home or something of significance for the community or tribe. These older Gu'udra Ha are usually widowed, and still valued members of society. They are expected to return with the important discovery to meet the needs of the community. Younger Seekers, on the other hand, may never see their homes again. It is thought by some scholars that the dispersion of younger Gu'udra Ha began as a means to maintain genetic diversity among the Vordun.
