Arps

Native to Southwestern Tira Vella, living past the central jungle in the highland plateau along the Western coast. They are a mysterious race, rarely interacting with the Tira Vellans and by extension the rest of the world. The difficult terrain of the central jungle made contact between them and the human Tira Vellans difficult. They are a rare sight in human Tira Vella, and a rarer sight on the continents. They form complex societies with rigid hierarchies and castes. Their society relies substantially on hunted animals, with higher castes allowed to hunt larger and more prestigious game. They are highly superstitious, and are often quick to make supernatural explanations for even mundane occurrences. Their religious beliefs are largely animistic and shamanistic. They believe in a creator figure called Uachmüzöl, and that they were created before the sun.
They have gaunt figures and long, slender arms, and small beady eyes; their skin is sickly pale, often with a slight green or blue tint. They have thin white hair. Their hands have five fingers in addition to the thumb. Their appearance alone makes people wary of them, though often unwarranted.
