People of Alesia

---

A humanoid race bearing both human and animal features such as tails and ears. Divided into two genus: Skylos (Canine) and Anu (Feline), Johte'ir come in several unique varieties. Appearances differ depending on the region and clan they belong to.

Anu Clans

Punai--Easily identifiable by their tufted ears, tan skin, and long tails, the Punai clans are nomadic, roaming the plains of Solheim.

Bria'ala--Known for their dark skin and rounded, panther-like ears and tails, they are capable warriors. They dwell in the forests of Eldea.

Wichianmat--The elite of Eldea. They are best known for their black-tipped ears and tails. With features often resembling Siamese cats, they hold themselves with an elegant grace, living in the larger cities of Eldea.

Kutya--Best known for their solitary nature, these clans are found in the wetlands of Kasai. They have long ears that are reddish-brown in color and short tails with thin striped markings. Kutya are known to have longer limbs than any of the other Johte'ir clans.

Skylos Clans

Na'yi--Best known for their independence, these wolf-like Johte'ir tend to be solitary. They can be found all across the western continent but most are found south in Tenebrae,

Kuche--Often found in coastal regions, they are often sea-faring folk. They are known for their narrow, pointed canine ears and thinner tails. Kuche clans can be found in both continents.

D'xaghil--Native to Kasai, they are recognizable by their smaller ears and large bushy tails. They are fiercely loyal and have tightknit families.

Alika--Described as fox-like, these Johte'ir have small family clans and are very independent. Best known for their long, pointed ears and thick, brush-like tails, they live in Kasai and often keep to themselves. They are also described as having thinner eyes than most.

Diminutive in stature, this humanoid race stand about three feet tall.  Often described as cheerful and amicable, these folk cherish family and the comforts of home above all. Their often rounded and child-like features add to their charming nature. Thanks to their small, deft hands and keen eyes, Drynar are often found in professions that lean toward trade or commerce. They are innately curious, leading many to travel far and wide selling goods and trading stories. The Drynarian people are found in abundance on both continents, happily living alongside their taller neighbors.

An ancient race of shapeshifters commonly thought to be mere fairytales or myths. Their two most common forms are that of a white-haired winged Johte'ir or a white-furred winged wolf. They can change their appearance at will to blend in with society, allowing them to take on the forms of Humans, Johte'ir, Drynar, or ordinary wolves. All Tashba possess white hair, blue eyes, and bat-like wings. They are also known to be powerful oracles and fortune tellers.

Legend has it that the Tashba were created by the eldest brother--Ardynn--and were favored by the earth's arcana. They possess extremely powerful magic rivaling that of one of the Twelve original powers. However, Tashba have not been seen in well over a thousand years, the last of them having disappeared after the Great Tashba War. They have since faded into legend, but there are some Johte'ir clans who still believe they exist in the far reaches of Alesia.
