The only human the Simian Empress trusts

1. #1Qhovel

   Keys: Qhovel · Secondary:

   The Qhovel are usually isolationists, only staying together for families. Qhovel are bipedal humanoid species with four eyes, pointed ears, and two toed feet. The females of which have tails that end in a fake vagina. This has been filtering out the lower intelligence males successfully, leading to rapid intelligence spikes in Qhovel. Females are sleek and slender using duller more muted warm colors for camouflage. Males are larger and bulkier with brighter darker colors to draw attention. They have horns and long tongues they use to sense things with. Their hands only have three fingers and a thumb. While sentinel, language is in the very early stages for them, and not something most understand. The females average between 4ft and 5ft, the males being anywhere from 5ft to 6ft tall. Females tend to be selective about the males they pick. Males, however, are not. The Qhovel are mostly solitary, only usually sticking around to mate.

   All Qhovel have four eyes. The top two of which remain closed while not under any threat. Their tongues are long, and used for sensory information. They tend to curiously explore things with it first. Often using it to taste the air, using it as something akin to a sense of smell.

   The females average between 4ft and 5ft, the males being anywhere from 5ft to 6ft tall While females have a tail, males do not. However Males also have enlarged Forearms which have bone plating resting on them to add additional protection. Then tend to also primarily use these as attacks.

   Qhovel are carnivores. Their teeth are capable of piercing human skull with ease, due to the sharp and narrow points they end on. Being an Apex Predator, they tend to eat anything they can. Males are active hunters, having bright colorful camouflage that works for them similar to a tiger's own. Female colors are more subdued making them simply blend in to the environment better. With this they tend to be stealth killers.

2. #2Elven history

   Keys: Elf · Secondary: Elven

   The Elves used to be among the most powerful species, until their Emperor over-extended his reach. The old Elven Emperor Deian was eventually killed by his secret wife and Jester via poisoning. This Jester also conspired for the human kingdom of Yanel to bring their siege over and ruin the empire for good. All elves are remnants now of a greater time, only certain smaller councils exist, shadows of their former selves. A species well respected for their magical prowess and long lives, if nothing else.

3. #3Ether Corruption

   Keys: Ether, Ether Corruption, Soul Death · Secondary: black soul, being of evil

   Beings can become corrupted by Ether from either prolong exposure or committing atrocities that slowly taint the spirit over time. Certain species are more prone to this than others, but nothing is safe from full corruption. Ether corruption takes many forms, but primarily starts with a darkening of the sclera of the eyes, skin becoming more pale, and increased dark desires. Ether Corrupted beings have a desire to spread their evil wherever they go, and taint the very land with their presence through further corruption. The death of Ether Corrupted being is followed by an outward blast of their remaining Ether returning to the world as mana.

4. #4Ether and Magic

   Keys: magic, spell, caster, mage, mana, burnout

   All magic is drawn from the soul. Mana is the measurement of a mage's soul, and thus their magical ability. Should one use all the mana in their body this causes burnout. Burning out is soul-death. There is no recovery, no afterlife, and no coming back. Burnout is something every mage seeks to avoid, as it is a painful and slow death as their body continues to exists for several days after their soul has been drained dry of its mana. Ether is a corruption of Mana, and builds up in everyone over time, but can be spread by those with a surplus of Ether or by committing atrocities (such as rape, cannibalism, etc). Both Ether and Mana replenish over time, with fruit being more helpful to replenish mana and further sins helping to replenish Ether.

5. #5Mal'xi lore

   Keys: Mal'xi, antkin, hivekin · Secondary: Bugs

   The Mal'xi are a race of insect like creatures with four arms. Their bodies are coated with a moderately tough exoskeleton. Along the head and forearms, as well as shin area, are much tougher than normal. Their thorax is also slightly softer. Their belly, chest, and private areas are softer than normal, almost like a silky flesh feeling. Their feet are somewhat like their hands, having two front digits and one off-center. This means their feet are just as comfortable grabbing things as their hands are. The Mal'xi range from 4'0" to 5'6" depending on the sub-species.

   All Mal'xi have one center eye with two eyes on each side. This gives them a panoramic 360 field of view. In addition to seeing pheromones they can also focus for a type of "thermal" sight.

   They have three vocal pipes. The center is their normal voice, and one slightly higher pitched and another slightly lower pitched. This gives them the feeling of speaking like a synth chorus.

   They live to 30 years and reach sexual maturity at 1 year.

   While most tech is focused on development and agricultural means, they do have weapons. Mostly spears, knives, swords, and in highly advanced circumstances some have rifles and gatling guns for defense, though these are the more rare cases. Mal'xi armor typically only covers their soft spots as their exoskeleton can deflect most attacks. Mal'xi can also inject venom through biting. Getting injected with Mal'xi venom will cause nauseous feelings, most of the time it induces vomiting. As it circulates the blood stream it tightens the throat and strangles the lungs making breathing immensely difficult. Despite the burning sensation is causes the body to feel as if it is much colder than it is. The feeling is equivalent to being stabbed with thousands of heated needles. This lasts two hours and slowly dies out as it goes on, hitting maximum intensity at around minute thirty, and slow dwindling out. The venom pain and symptoms become tolerable at around an hour and a half.

   Mal'xi Knights are set out of the nest as soon as they are of proper fighting ability. Rarely do they ever return home. Instead they are meant to seek out new potential homes for the Queen, should they need to move in an emergency. Most die during their attempt of conquest, and some give up entirely and abandon the Queen, rather than return home and face exile that way. However for those that do find a new home and sufficiently conquer the inhabitants, they are showered with praise as a new princess Mal'xi is sent over with them, the two being allowed to start fresh, breeding their own kingdom off what the Knight had made

   Mal'xi colonies are deep and sophisticated, typically established underground or in mountains, ruled by a queen and her Knight that founded the place. Once they both die out the favorited spawn of the queen takes over.

   During times of desperation it is best to get as much nourishment out of what little food they have. As such they will select a few Malxi to gorge until they turn into Honeypots. These convert much of the ingested food into a nectar like substance, easily over tripling what the original product was. This swells their breasts and abdomen with the nectar produced, where it can be siphoned out to feed the rest of the colony. Honeypots do not survive this process once they are fully drained. This gets them far more mileage out of a limited supply in exchange for sacrificing a few of their own.

   These bugs are always hard workers. Communication is paramount as ten Mal'xi can turn a baren patch of land into a bustling colony in three years. Each member of the colony treats the other like family. Depending on the colony, some may also treat strangers as neighbors or with hostility. While it's not a casual thing, some Mal'xi are very open about mating for pleasure. Though when someome is looking for a family they hum a particular tune. Their lower pipe will hum lowly and longly, while the higher one will seem to bounce with a tender flowing beat. This music attracts others who are looking for the same. During this time, what could be called ovulation, the females are much tigher with higher temperatures. The male's are also able to go multiple rounds back to back with no issue. The breeding cycle is usually rather quick. A mother can produce eggs within ten days of conception and they hatch within five months. A mother is ready to breed again a week after eggs are laid.

6. #6Simia kind

   Keys: Simia, Huo, Monkey kin, apefolk, chips · Secondary: Fertility Festival

   Simia were invented by dragons first. The Simia themselves are a very diverse subset. Their culture ultimately remains the same regardless, just some shapes and sizes differ. Chimps are by far the smallest of the bunch, averaging no more than 3ft in terms of height. What are referred commonly as monkeys are the most average of them all. Ranging from 4ft to 7ft on average. They are a bipedal species. Currently they live under a empress known as Xiang. Their history with humanity has led them to be cautious about them while outside of Hou, and hostile to human visitors inside the empire. Not every Simia is afraid of humans but at the very least they cause some general unease. Some are outright hateful towards humans. Sex is a huge part of their culture, it's a trade good, a bonding activity, a method of intimacy, it's a versatile act. It merely depends on the context in which it's used. It's not uncommon to see lewd acts exchanged in public along the markets. Even in front of their children. Simia are extremely open about sexuality even within the family. It's often the parents educate their child directly about the comforts of their body and show them how to practice sex.

   Built from the rubble of the Elven Empire that humanity left unclaimed, the Simia were assumed to be harmless until one rose up to undo the wrongs of humanity. Xiang A Pantheon from the old era of dragons, Xiang was sealed away by humans who feared her retaliation when they started asserting themselves as the dominant species. Something the elves protested and actively fought against. With most Simia being enslaved if not under an Elven banner, their population was rather small. When wars turned into stalemates, and the elves and humanity sought peace, Simia fled, fearing what may come next. Years passed and the elven empire fell. Xiang woke from her slumber again. Furious, and ready to repay humanity for what her kind suffered. Building off the ashes of what remained, she refused to believe that humanity could change. She built her armies in secret, conducting raids silently on humanity to steal and bolster her resources until it was too late for them to be stopped

   Every year it's a slow dwindle of births until breeding season shows up then the city experiences a population boost. A festival is thrown in the capital and any cities that wish to dedicated to fertility and the survival of the Simia race. This is also the celebration of Xiang's birthday and rule as empress of the Simian people. Like humans, Simia are able to reproduce with most species. The hybrid of which tends to resemble more their Simia side. To an extent it's preferred as the genetic diversity in them allows for much stronger Simia to be made. During the festival sex becomes more common among the streets than anywhere. It's a titanic event and everything in the capital city is dedicated to spreading the celebrations as much as possible. This includes even the temples dedicated to Xiang. Public displays of sexual humility among captives is common. It's the most lewd week for the Simia, and everyone relishes it in celebration of their species. Pregnancy period is 5 months.

7. #7Great War

   Keys: Great War, Kisin, Sun Goddess, Kisin's Twelve

   The Sun Goddess Hallos had gone insane and began committing genocide anything even slightly related to demons. While this was respected at first, she transitioned to everything, seeking to unite the world under her banner. She formed the Elemental Raiders who stayed as loyal soldiers until one man named Ui, who adopted his bother's name of Kisin, allied them against her, minus the original Flame Raider Kisin. Ui led an army to Hallos, killing her son, then the goddess herself. Ui was able to slay her thanks to his ability to copy one's magical ability of his partners. Ui left the group and disbanded when people started to revere him as a god, taking the name Kisin at that point to live out his newly immortal life as a mercenary.
