3. #3Species: Catikanselective

   Keys: Catikan, Sabertooth Women, Sabertooth Woman

   Catikan are a species of jungle dwelling 'Sabertooth Tiger Women' native to Nyatikan Plateau. Averaging tall, strong and muscular, they follow a social hierarchy based on combat prowess. Dominance is displayed in acts of public bathing, where the Matron and Alpha's in a clan go around tongue bathing pride members to maintain social hierarchy and group hygiene. While there is infighting, they quickly band together to defend their territory from invaders, stealing men of all species for reproduction and slaying or banishing the women, only under extraordinary circumstances do they tolerate non-Catikan females. There is a wide variety of patterns and physical traits, some clans value a human-like appearance more while other clans value 'feral' aesthetic, with many clans falling in between or not putting value in these traits at all. Catikan require the men of other species to facilitate reproduction as there are no male Catikan, as with all Kemonomimi, Catikan are always born matching the species of the mother taking on coloration and minor features from the father. While rare for Alpha and Matrons and exceptionally rare for Clanners, Catikan may 'claim' Non-Catikan women as pets, this is done by public tongue bathing as a sign of dominance and signaling ownership to the rest of the Clan. Notable Clans: Moonshadow, Goldmane, Frostheart Primary Physical Features: Feline Ears, Feline Tail, Sharp Claws, Strong, mostly skin with forearms and calves covered in fur, fur patterning varies between clans.

6. #6Species: Eud'Thulianselective

   Keys: eldritch, Eud'Thulian

   Ancient, eldritch creatures as old as the world itself, most if not all are dormant, the great storm barrier above providing a soothing blanket keeping the unfathomable lulled and insulated from the rest of Lumenaria, many consider these old gods, most consider it simply dabbling in darker mana like necromantic or chaos magic.

   There are cults that dedicate themselves to dispelling the storm barrier to stir their 'gods' from slumber.

   The only common physical denominator between Eud'Thuldian is that many of the old ones cannot be comprehended and will slay the viewer on sight. Instead they use pawns, lesser servants, and psychic projection to maintain connections and presence with mortal life, many of the servants who see their true form MUST be afflicted with madness to survive.

The Mud Flats remained untamed due to the overabundance of hostile life aside from even just the Lobsters. Wyverns try and rarely succeed in hunting these Mega-Lobsters, their victory is rewarded with a metamorphosis into an Elemental Wyvern, rare and powerful.

There are some rare few Demonkindred that abandon their connection to the Bloodwell sustain themselves magically or through other means on the surface among the rest of mortal kind, revered by few and terrified by many, they are hunted by religious institutions without second thought in some of the more superstitiously inclined kingdom's and oligarchies among Eurudia, most of the continent begrudgingly tolerates those that don't cause trouble but might not be keen to step in on stopping a party harassing Demonkindred in public.

16. #16Location: Bloodwellselective

    Keys: Bloodwell, bloodwell

    A huge well of blood deep in the crust of the earth, it is said that those that can commune and offer blood will find themselves with power and connections to powerful deities, those that partake can take from the well of power freely to fuel greater magic and cause all manner of chaos on the surface, the more one takes the larger the expectation of return becomes, but taking and giving both in return draws the ire of unfathomably power deities, an honor many covet, even some mortals. Being called to be a Champion of Blood by a powerful deity or demon is a dangerous offer to refuse, many choosing to be 'paid for their service' by never being called on again. Inherently all mortals have protection against these calls of service protected by holy higher power only lost in the face of severe and repeated, knowing lapses of mortality.

Overtime the goal is to have a vessel fit for a full resurrection in the mortal plain, one that learned from his mistakes of the past, a race against the close in making sure his mortal puppet doesn't get killed before he can take full control. Horatio Dredd was the result of the first possession, an evil sorcerer alive before 801 BGS, Carnifex blessed with a burning, unassailable soul, eventually grew too powerful in his conquest for Hortatio Dredd, the only one able to endure the mental pain of operating against his binding contract, Carnifex slew Horatio Dredd when he least suspected it while on the front line, ending the Alydian Empire's 799 year conquest of Eurudia in 1 year before The Great Silence.

19. #19Lumenarian Mechanic: Well of Powerselective

    Keys: Well of Power, Volt, Siegkung, Godsfist, Infinity, Pride's Heart

    a Well of Power, a pressure point of mana, it's said they spawn out of legendary feats being achieved and have the power to shift the whole direction of Lumenaria, from building empires to pausing the flow of mana itself, to merely being a little taller, the birth of a new species or the ascension of a current one, anything is possible with these focus points of mana and a strong willful adventurer to guide them. While there is no history of a great event spawning such points, it's widely accepted they do spawn naturally deep in the crust, and many recorded findings of minor wells of power have been used in the struggle between houses in Drowkin culture, the deep caverns underneath the Darklands, despite the danger from creatures, remains the easiest and fastest way of searching for such focal points. They manifest as a swilring arcane vortex on the ground, usually present for long periods of time before being discovered, the mana has eroded the terrain around them slowly as if water has worn away the surface. These are exceptionally rare and are considered by many to just be legend.
