Dziewonie (ʒ́evonie)
Dziewonie (singular: "Dziewonia") are a humanoid species that lives mostly in forests and are dedicated to protecting animals from death and diseases as well as mainting the natural balance of things. They are also concerned about the well-being of domesticated animals as diseases can spread from domesticated to wild. For that reason, Dziewonie can often be found in rural areas.
Matriarchal Society
Many people believe that Dziewonie are a female-only species. However, the truth is different. They live in a strict matriarchal communities and men are not allowed to interact with outsiders. Men's role is limited to taking care of children when women are absent and defending the settlement when it is attacked. Women, on the other hand, are hunters, warriors and leaders. Such division comes from their worship of Mother Earth and the believe that the female part of the world is favoured by her. Whether that's true is unknown, but no one should question that in a presence of a Dziewonia.
Moose Cavalry
One of the best known aspects of their culture is the moose cavalry. As the name implies those are warriors riding moose to battle. They are consider one of the best mounted warriors on the continent. The best of knights tremble in fear from a thought of fighting against the moose cavalry.
