Twili (Twie-lie)

We are the epitome of the natural order: Shadow encasing light and light illuminating shadow.

— Twili proverb

A tall, hylianid species that resides in the Twilight Realm, these beings are marked by an ancient curse from their forefathers thousands of years ago. Twisted by an existence between both light and dark, the Twili are effectively trapped in their homeland.

A People Cursed

The Twili as they exist now were once members of an ancient Hyrulean culture nown as the Zononian. Long before the Hylian Civil War a sorcerer within this more warrior culture attempted to make claim on Triforce of the Gods. Accessing ancient, dark magics, he managed to turn members of the Zonai on there own kin in his attempt for power. The sorcerer and his followers were eventually beaten, but not before nearly decimating the Zonai population. In the end, seven warriors the magical mirror the sorcerer used to feed his schemes and trapped these Interlopers in the Twilight Realm.

Anatomy

Like their Hylian counterparts, Twili come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from short and stout, to tall and thin. While their height may be variable, all have somewhat elongated arms compared to Hylians. For taller members of the species, this isn't always obvious, but can lead to smaller members holding their arms at a bend or keeping them crossed either across their chest or behind their back.

Much of the diet of the Twili is made up of various fruits and vegetables that manage to grow in the Twilight Realm, brought by the original Interlopers. Except for rare occasions, the Twili are vegetarians.
