Ainin

The Ainin are stereotypically an elusive and steadfast race of sheep-rabbit people hailing from Eldham. They are uncommon to the point of obscurity and usually live their lives as nomads or as small, settled tribes dedicated to cultivating their society and land, though some find their way to other societies, embracing their culture and commons. To those that know them, the ainin are known primarily for their abstract thinking, diligence and natural charm.

Although small in numbers, the Ainin currently inhabit tiny tribes within central Phoros and remain mostly insignificant in the grand scheme of the world, not engaging much in politics.

Origins and early history
The Ainin, and their unique form are said to have been the result of a shift in The Anewal thousands of years ago. Theories surrounding their past have formed, with many speculating them to be afflicted humans, elves, sheep or rabbits.

The Ainin have lived in the territory of Phoros and beyond for over 900 years. They organized into tribal units, which migrated across the continent, mostly within the territories of present-day Caisleán, Terrather and the northern reaches of Eldham's Skjoldbrodir lands. Their nomadic lifestyle abruptly stopped when the nations of Rathnir landed on Phoros' coast, with word spreading around quickly and making the Ainin decide to settle down and give rise to more developed regions. During this time, their leaders quickly adapted to learn the Traveler's Tongue and the common writing systems of nearby nations.
