Hrabians

Hrabians, or Hrabs, are a nation and a species of unknown origin, who share a common history Culture, the Hrabian Language and are identified with the region of Hrabia in Elastra, especially in and around the towns of Ogórogród and Mekhanja. Hrabian scholars define a Hrab as someone who is genetically and outwardly Hrabian. The vast majority of Hrabs adhere to Ogórism. The Region of Hrabia is currently within Sethris.

Biology and appearance
Physically, Hrabians are tall humanoids with bright green skin and Bulbous foreheads and bushy black eyebrows, though some Hrabs have been known to dye them. Typical Hrabian eye colours include red, blue, purple, brown and grey. Certain genetic defects can cause Hrabians to have yellow, or rarely, red skin. As Hrabians age, their skin, eyes and eyebrows begin to lose their pigment, causing them to become less saturated and pale.

Hrabian genetic traits appear to be dominant, as children born to one Hrabian parent will be genetically and physically fully Hrabian. Hrabians cannot reproduce with themselves, and rely on the conversion of other species into Hrabs through complex rituals or sexual reproduction with a member of another species to grow their numbers.

Although Hrabians lack mouths, they have large noses and highly developed Nostrils that allow them to replicate any sounds a typical human could, allowing them to technically be able to speak.

History
Hrabians are thought to have originated in the Hollow Mountain range in modern day Sethris, although there has been some speculation that they may be extraterrestrial in origin.

Hrabians first populated the region of Ogórogród thousands of years ago, although they were highly unorganised. In about 2021, a Hrabian religious missionary called PickleOnAStick established a settlement in a small coastal area in the region. The Settlement, known as Ogórowiec, flourished until it collapsed in 2022, when It’s leader temporarily vanished from reality. Upon his return, he reestablished the town, renaming it to Ogórogród. PickleOnAStick took charge of leading the Hrabian people, standardising the language and beginning work on a new Hrabian capital, on the site of an ancient Hrabian temple. In april of 2022, Hrabians reclaimed and populated the abandoned city of Mekhanica, Hrabinizing the name to Mekhanja.

The Legend of the first Hrabja
The legend of the first Hrabia (Hrabian: Legaada pjery Hrabij) follows the legendary first duke of Hrabia who may or may not exist. (tba)

Language
The Hrabian language (Hrabian: Hrbskij Jizyk) is the common language of the Hrabian people. The language was standardised under the rule of PickleOnAStick. It can be written in both a latin and cyrrilic alphabet.

Religion
The Children of Ogór is the majority religion among Hrabians. The religion follows the belief that there are multiple universes, all infected with a sort of decay growing beneath their surfaces, binding them all to a fate of ultimate destruction. Only through the construction of a network of temples lined with sea pickles (as they act as conduits for the power of their god, Ogór's preservatory aura) can they save the realm. This is the majority religion in Ogórogród and Mekhanja.

The Hrabian faith is extremely important to their society, as it is responsible for the creation of new Hrabians.
