Shando

A shando is an animal who has been taken over by the spirit of an uwako for the main purpose of performing rolako. The shando is guided by the spirits of elsewhere to visit the uwako on his or her thirteenth birthday, when they are binded (see below). This marks an uwako's coming of age, when he or she is finally powerfull enough to perform complex rolako moves using solid lunaro. When an uwako dies, his or her spirit takes the form of thier shando in nowhere.
