Vanished Ones
The Vanished Ones are the only extinct intelligent race to have lived within the Realms of Athanya. Nothing is known about them aside from the fact that, judging from the cities they built, they were as tall as the Twolligs and as community-oriented as the Suktu. Not even the Deities know who they were or why they vanished without a trace. They have no known descendants and their only remaining legacy lies within the empty cities they left behind.
Basic Information
Anatomy
It's thought that the Vanished Ones were bipedal, but this isn't known for certain.
Ecology and Habitats
They seemed able to make a home in all but the most extreme environments because they built their tall cities anywhere with enough flat space to host a large settlement and farmland.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Due to the fact that they left plots of farmland behind, they apparently ate cultivated crops. Whether or not they ate animal products is up for debate.
Additional Information
Uses, Products & Exploitation
Many of their old cities are currently settled by the Suktu and the Adalei. Their technological advancements have been extensively studied by these groups and used to improve the lives of those who live within the tall cities.
Civilization and Culture
Average Technological Level
None of their non-architectural inventions remain, but they were advanced enough to build elaborate sewer and water distribution systems, create towering structures, and plot vast swaths of farmland, as demonstrated by the ruins they left behind.
EXTINCT
Average Height
Theorized to be up to 9 feet
Average Physique
They seem to have been tall and narrow in build, if the width of the tall cities' doorways are anything to go by.
