Kiak
- The Kiak is a sassy race of hunters and craftworkers. They are well known for their snark and good-natured humor. They call the Prowen province home.
Basic Information

The Kiak are anthropomorphic bipedal deer.
Biological Traits
Kiak males have large antlers where as females do not.
Ecology and Habitats
The Kiak have adapted to survive their somewhat mountainous homeland and the forests surrounding them.
Dietary Needs and Habits
The Kiak are an oddity to many as despite their resemblance to the common deer they are in fact omnivorous and very fond of meat.
Additional Information
Social Structure
The Kiak are a somewhat contradictory lot when it comes to social hierarchy, as they are both incredibly social and very much loners. They solve this by electing a council of leaders who decide on general policy and code of ethics. Beyond this everyone is held accountable for their own actions by the group only if deemed absolutely necessary.
Uses, Products & Exploitation
While those like the Shoqen tend to view the antlers of the Kiak as wonderful trophies, even they are cautious about actually hunting them. This is a direct response to the Kiak's unique ability to induce fear in their enemies.
Facial characteristics
While they share all their features and characteristics with deer, their real appearances are often a mystery to others as they tend to wear masks and helmets made of the skulls of actual deer, wolves, or large predators.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
The only province that the Kiak can not be found in is Kipales, beyond that they have spread to the furthest corners of the empire. Though they still call Prowen home above all.
Average Intelligence
The Kiak do their best to learn what they can of other cultures and of history. They are avid lore keepers and enjoy listening to the tales of the past from any willing to share them.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
They have a unique ability to enhance their aura and cause debilitating levels of fear and apprehension for short periods of time.
Civilization and Culture
Common Dress Code
The Kiak tend to favor robes decorated with furs and feathers. Bone is also a common accessory for them.
Culture and Cultural Heritage
The Kiak are master hunters though unlike the Shoqen they are not wasteful and do not do such for sport. They work hard to insure they give the proper respect to all their prey and to nature as a whole using as much of their kills as possible. They are also a sassy and vibrant race that enjoys socializing with others and learning more about culture and history through all methods they can. They are also wholly against the hunting of anything else considered sentient.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
White and brown are the most common colorations for the Kiak. They are capable of having the same patterns as most breeds of deer and often also mark themselves with somewhat intimidating and ominous patterns.
