Lo'Oix

The Lo'Oix (Homo rofulucus) are a humanlike species located primarily in Southeastern and Northeastern Eldham. They are closely related to other hominid groups like the Humans and Elves. The species is one of the most dominant native species groups in Eastern Serrona having population particularly throughout the USSE. Historically, they were most dominant in more hot and arid regions of the continent such as savannahs, plains, and mesas. Most Lo'Oix individuals are organized into familial groups called clans.

While several languages are spoken and with variation by the Lo'Oix and related similar groups, they primarily speak the language of Lo'Oi. The most dominant folk religion is Oxintoism, but this is not applicable to all specimens.

Appearance
Lo'Oix people tend to have rather broad set of common phenotypical traits, similar to their relatives. Their skin typically features an olive undertone but can be either dark or pale in complexion. Their eyes are often their most identifiable traits, with most being some variation of red and/or orange. Some people are known to have pink or yellow eyes however. Their hair is almost always naturally black or brown and tends to be curly or wavy in texture.

Additionally, they are notable for having proportionally long legs and having a large amount of sudoriferous glands which are both notable adaptations for living in hot climates and running over long distances.

Evolutionary History
It is believed from paleontological and archeological evidence that the Lo'Oix did not originate from the modern Humans (Homo sapiens) but instead from a different species called Homo erectus, of which the last members of the species died out on Eldham roughly 90,000~ years ago.

According to various scientific studies published by nations such as the USSE, there was a massive ecological change on Eldham around this time that corresponded with diversification of humanoids and other sentient life on Eldham that there is today. Prior to this, Eldham had been filled with large tropical regions, but as the environment become more arid and dry over the years, this caused a mass recession in the rainforests and a drop in global ocean levels which caused many organisms to have to specialize to their new environments which were often more extreme. In the case of the Lo'Oix, they had become specially adapted to warm and dry flat environments such as mesas and savannahs and early Lo'Oix had picked up a lifestyle mostly consisting of hunting and gathering.

This diversification event is believed to be the root origin of species such as not only the Lo'Oix, but also possibly the Khazad, Catulum, Lemurfolk, and Eternyri
