The term 'kith' may be less familiar to us today, but its meaning is rooted deep in history. Derived from Old English and Germanic languages, 'kin' has been used to describe family since at least the 9th century. However, 'kith' was once a commonly used word that referred to one's neighbors or community.

Despite their troubled pasts, Vex and Vax have always managed to stay one step ahead of trouble thanks to their quick wit and cunning skills. Having traveled far and wide, they've experienced great hardship but have also forged unbreakable bonds with each other.

As we explore the twins' journey, we are reminded that family is not just about blood ties, but about the relationships we form along the way. From their harsh childhood in the elite elven city of Syngorn to their adventures in Byroden, Vex and Vax have learned to rely only on themselves.
