The Viccans are a race of magic-wielding people who used to live on Brackenwood at the same time as the Dashkin, before the two peoples vanished. Today only one member of the race remains on Brackenwood, the flying girl. The nature of the Viccans and the Dashkin, and who they were, is a mystery, only known by the last Viccan Lemonee Wee and the Auld Sage.
The Viccans numbered just over two hundred, were long-lived and ritualised their care for the natural world of Brackenwood.
