Aphiari



The Aphiari are an extraterrestrial insectoid race that live all across the world. Originally from another planet they moved to ours and over generations, evolved into many subspecies to adapt to their new environment. Currently, the biggest Aphiari settlement are the Vespir living in the Federation of Notos.

Subspecies
While evolving from a common ansestor, the Aphiari evolved into many subspecies over generations.

Vespir
Vespir walked the foothills of the world thousands of years before men looking for a new home after their civilization fell. Most of their buildings are lost to time, but lucky adventurers still have the slim chance of stumbling upon one. They were not a democratic people, but from what we know they weren’t absolutist either. They developed a clan system and most of them traveled in these clans in a nomad like fashion amongst the stars. Some did stay and wander the world and discovered Eldham nearly a week after Athaz the Traveller and were involved with the formation of the Federation of Notos.

Hamuli
Hamuli were mages and expert tailors, but became decentralized as distant from their past as they assimilated to Human cultures. There are a plenty of old ruined temples around Rathnir that seems to be of Hamuli culture, yet due to the previous fact we cannot really be sure. Buildings of assured Hamuli construction have a few similar elements: Hexagon and swirl patterns, Simple materials (mostly sandstone, mud or wood), very asymmetric and natural shapes and strange fabrics called Ebsso.

Favizin
The Favizin are a religious folk following the Hivamism faith. According to legends, they founded the Kingdom of Favu in Eldham and lived in harmony for over 1000 years. But the military betrayed the queen and ended up destroying the Kingdom of Favu in the process. The rest of the world took advantage of this and took revenge against the Favizin for their attacks against other nations, nearly wiping out the subspecies.
