Novaterians

Novaterians are the people of the New World! They've lived and thrived in their civilization for thousands of years longer than even the gods have occupied Vessel. While extremely diverse and taking on a multitude of different forms and shapes, evidence suggests an extremely adaptable common ancestor that's managed to adapt in incredible ways. They tend to represent the apex predator of a region, with probable exceptions like the Harens, who closely resemble hares (The implications of this relationship are unclear, more study on Novaterian Rabbits is needed to determine the relationship between Novaterians and local Apex Predators).

For playing a Novaterian character, use the ancestry that more closely resembles the fuzzy lile animal person you want to be, and if that fails, pick human and take the Beastkin Heritage. Additionally, a lot of the lore on Novaterians isn't as well established, so if you want to play one, you're essentially helping me create a race in my world :D
