Debrukii
Originally denizens of the forests and plains north of Galadron, the Debrukii people were hurled across the seas when Li-Ban ripped a piece of the world up and smote the One Flesh down into the water. Clinging in terror to the earth as it broke off, they fell with a terrible crash off the coasts of the Western Continent.
