Felinae Demi-Human 🐱

“We walk where shadows dance.”

The most common Vetharim on the continent, Felinae Beasten are said, according to ancient myth, to have been the first to open their hearts to the Gaians, forming a deep and lasting bond. Some even married Gaians and joyfully raised children together, creating clans that still thrive today. Felinae Vetharim can be found throughout the warmer regions, especially in forested valleys and sun-drenched plains, where their agility and keen senses give them an edge. They tend to live in tight-knit communities, often centered around old Gaian cities.

Cornutus Demi-Human 🦌

“We listen to the forest's heartbeat, to tame the chaos within.” 

Hidden away on remote, mist-veiled islands far from the continent of  Karnarass, the Cornutus Vetharim live in druidic societies, bound to nature by blood, spirit, and silence. They are a reclusive people, not out of fear, but reverence, believing the natural world speaks in quiet rhythms only the still-hearted can hear. Through sacred rituals, spirit-summoning, and deep communion with their forests, they seek to balance the chaos of their emotions with the order of the wild. Graceful and introspective, they are keepers of forgotten wisdom, moving through life like starlight through leaves, soft, serene, and unfathomably deep. 

Canidae Demi-Human 🐶

The Canidae Vetharim are diverse, united by a deep respect for community, loyalty, and shared strength. Found in both cities and remote mountain strongholds, they are known for their reliability, discipline, and adaptability. Though their cultures differ from region to region, they all place great value on trust, mutual support, and fulfilling one’s role within the group.

“Loyalty is our instinct. Bravery, our choice.” 

The Dog Vetharim are the most common and widely spread. Known for their warmth, work ethic, and commitment, they serve as guards, medics, soldiers, farmers, and messengers, doing what needs to be done with little demand for recognition. Loyalty, for them, is a choice made daily, and they hold tightly to the people they trust. To abandon a friend or duty is to abandon oneself.

One pack. One purpose.” 

The Wolf Vetharim live in fortified citadels high in the mountains, where life is harsh and order is essential. Trained from a young age to value discipline, coordination, and duty, they see the group as more important than the individual. Each Wolf has a place in the pack, and betrayal is rare, but never forgiven. They are tactical, protective, and relentless when defending their own.

"A laugh opens more doors than a key ever could." 

The Tanuki Vetharim are clever, unpredictable, and socially flexible. Living mostly in forest villages or border towns, they are known for their playful attitude and creative problem-solving. They use humor, disguise, and misdirection as tools to navigate the world, not to deceive maliciously, but to survive and adapt. They may not seem serious, but their loyalty runs deep once earned.

"We make do, patch it up, and move forward."

The Raccoon Vetharim, often found in urban outskirts, swamplands, and trade towns, blends practicality with curiosity. They are scavengers, tinkerers, and night workers,  skilled at finding solutions in tight situations. Among them, resourcefulness is respected more than status, and mutual support is more important than hierarchy. They’re less structured than their Dog and Wolf kin but just as dependable when it counts.

Truth hides in the clever lie. And honesty in our laughter” 

The  Fox Vetharim are elusive and clever, thriving in the snowy forests of the north and the misty realms of Ryu Shoto. Masters of words, illusion, and subtlety, they see deception not as a vice but as a tool,  for survival, protection, and grace. While many remain in quiet homelands, desert-dwelling kin bring their sharp minds and riddles to markets and courts alike. Speaking with a Fox Vetharim is never straightforward, but always intentional; they see the truths others overlook and know how to shape them to their advantage.

Together, the Canidae Vetharim form a broad and adaptable Spicie. Some are disciplined and orderly, others chaotic and clever, but they all believe that no one stands alone for long, not by choice, and never by necessity.

Pisces Demi-Human 🐟

"By light, we ride the currents of fate. By darkness, we change, as fog returns to rain. In the sunken deep, we drift with grace, Guided by the wellspring within." 

Dwelling in coral-woven cities beneath the waves and along quiet coastal enclaves, the Pisces Vetharim live between worlds, neither fully of the land nor entirely of the sea. Adaptable, introspective, and fluid in their ways, they view life as a current to be read, not resisted. They believe change is sacred, and identity is a tide that rises and falls with time and experience. Above all, they are guided by an inner “wellspring”,  a spiritual intuition passed down through songs, dreams, and the silent language of water. In times of stillness, they are tranquil mystics. In times of danger, swift as storms. Their grace is not stillness, but movement shaped by the ever-shifting ocean within and without. 

Equidae Demi-Human🐴 

“We are born to run free with the wind.” 

Equidae Vetharim are a proud and enduring people, known across the continent for their strength, stamina, and unshakable spirit. In the sunbaked open lands of the southern provinces, they are born to run, swift and wild, their "hooves" thundering across the plains in perfect harmony with the wind. In the colder, rugged north, they are protectors by nature: steadfast guardians of mountain passes, borderlands, and ancient paths long forgotten. Whether galloping across the grasslands or standing firm on frostbitten cliffs, they embody motion and might in equal measure.

Pantherinae Demi-Human 🦁

“Born to rule, bound to protect.” 

High within the golden walls of the forbidden city of Salta in the emirate of  Soharan in  Enotemara Güdatan. The Pantherinae Vetharim reigns over the city, a sun-drenched bastion of law, legacy, and sacred order. Their rule is not tyrannical, but ancestral. They are guardians of ancient codes, philosophers of justice, and stewards of bloodlines that trace back to the first kings of the Vetharim. Entry into their domain is rare and restricted, permitted only to chosen non-Pantherinae families whose loyalty and purpose serve the greater design.

Among the Pantherinae Vetharim, power is not seized but inherited through trials of honour and service. Every decision echoes through generations, and every life under their watch is a vow they are sworn to protect. Proud, commanding, and unwavering, they are both the crown and the shield of their people.

“Strike fast. Roar louder.”
Beyond the walls of Salta, in the dense tropical and subtropical rainforests of the southern reaches, the solitary branches of the Pantherinae Vetharim live apart from the citadel’s ordered grandeur. Unlike their noble kin in Soharat, these Pantherinae do not rule — they endure, guided by instinct, strength, and a deep code of personal honor. Solitary by nature, they rely on themselves rather than structure, often living and acting alone unless united by a common threat. Among them, respect is earned through action, not words, and leadership is claimed only through proven worth. Though seen as fierce and untamed by outsiders, these Panthers are disciplined, fiercely protective, and driven by an unshakable sense of purpose. They walk alone, but when they appear, they are impossible to ignore.

Squamata Demi-Human 🐉

"From flame we do not flee,  we are forged by it, understanding hearts open doors that others cannot see.  ”  

Stoic, enigmatic, and steeped in ancient rites, the Squamata Vetharim are a people shaped by inner fire, not outward fury. Their cities rise from volcanic valleys, obsidian cliffs, and sun-scorched canyons. Emotion, to them, is not weakness but a tool, one to be studied, mastered, and turned with precision. They believe that true power lies in knowing what moves others and guiding them with unseen influence.

To outsiders, they may seem cold or aloof, but within their silent temples and sunstone halls, the Squamata Vetharim nurture a quiet intensity, a balance of flame and stillness. Elders meditate upon the memories of ash and rebirth, while chosen seers shape destinies with nothing more than a glance and a word. They do not conquer by sword or storm, they open doors others never knew existed… and walk through them unburned.

Rabbit Demi-Human 🐰

“The meek leap further than the mighty.” 

Beneath moonlit groves and in wind-swept highlands, the Rabbit Vetharim dwell — elusive, elegant, and often overlooked by those who mistake gentleness for weakness. But within their poised silence lies a quiet resolve, and behind their soft-footed grace, the strength to endure what others cannot.

They are swift of body and sharper still of mind, guided by instinct, ancestral whispers, and an intimate bond with the natural world. Many are seers, scouts, or guardians of ancient places, moving unseen where others charge blindly. They do not seek conquest or power, yet when the time comes, they strike with clarity and vanish like breath on the wind.

To be born of the warren is to learn patience, resilience, and the art of surviving in a world ruled by noise. And when the world looks down upon them, the Rabbit Vetharim simply leap — further, faster, and freer than any would expect.

Rodentia Demi-Human 🐀

“What the world throws away, we turn into power.” 

The Rodentia Vetharim are a practical and tight-knit people, found in river towns, underground districts, swamplands, and neglected edges of cities. They don’t rely on wealth or force to survive; they depend on each other. Whether it’s the sharp instincts of rat-kin, the steady, calming presence of capybara folk, or the hardworking builders from beaver families, they each bring something valuable to the community.

They live simply but smartly, often in spaces others have forgotten: old tunnels, canals, scrap-built neighborhoods, or wetland villages. They fix what’s broken, share what they have, and find ways to make things work, even with very little. Everyone’s role matters — from the toolmaker to the negotiator to the one who simply listens and keeps the peace.

Rodentia Vetharim tend to be cautious around outsiders, but they aren’t unfriendly. They’re observant, honest in their way, and slow to trust, but once you earn their respect, they’ll stand with you through anything. Some see them as lower-class or unimportant, but they don’t care much for status. They value community, problem-solving, and the kind of quiet strength that comes from surviving hard times together.

They might not be flashy, but they’re reliable, clever, and always find a way forward.
