Mythi (Mii-th-ee)

The Mythi are a Beast-kin rodent like race that share its residences with the Kingdom of Mythia and often mistaken as being the foudners of the Mythian kingdom itself. They in fact come from a conclave at the edge of Mythian territory known as Caerloist.

They look like little mice I think, but about three to four feet tall. They can cook some damn good meals though out of anything. It's no wonder the little guys run most of the Inns in the Kingdom.

One word of advice, mate, Don't challenge a Mythi to a game of chess, you'll be in checkmate before you can put yer first sip of ale down!

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

The Mythi have large round or pointed ears that are easily distinguishable in a silhouette. Every one in one-hundred mythi however are born blind, or legally blind. So they heavily rely on their nose, whiskers and sound to get around in the world. They are heavily involved in the magical arts which has further supplemented their sensory abilities. They are natural mages that can become quite powerful if they dedicate themselves to the arts.

Civilization and Culture

History

The Mythi come from the city of Caerloist. A city nestled by a hotspring and known as a frontier city to the Great Divide. The mythi are said to have evolved from a field mouse or some variation of a mouse that was accustomed to the arctic conditions that are present in northern Maelstrom. Thousands of years have passed as they peacefully coexisted with the natural wildlife and the native humans in the region. As a beast tribe, they engaged in trade quite often, usually spring waters and aces to the healing hotsprings that are around Caerloist.

The Maelstromers of Saalsland however hunted them in the past for their fur pelts. However there is very little record of this in the region, which makes it no more tha na rumor or exaggerated history of the more xenophobic human tribes. This did not stop the mythi from thriving however, as they can be found through out Maelstrom and ther world, often in roles of innkeeps, maids, or Magic instructors.
