KHADDORIANS
Nature & Justice
Restless and nomadic by nature, Khaddorians roam the wilds, fueled by dreams of reclaiming their former glory. They believe every life - no matter how small - is not only valuable but plays a critical role in the natural world. All Khaddorians strive to find their purpose and play their part.
The only traces left of ancient Khaddorians are yellowed pages of manuscript. A lot of the ancient traditions of the Khaddorians has faded away, but legends say that thy were once a peaceful and powerful empire.
Unfortunately, due to wars that spawn over half a millennium and the harsh conditions of their environment, they lost a great deal of their past culture.​
Currently, Khaddorians live hidden in the southern hemisphere. They are separated into two distinct tribes: the Jotaig and the Tauren.
THE TRIBES
THE JOTAIGS
Children of Shakan
The Jotaigs are the ones who took the biggest blow with the betrayal of the youngest brother during the genocide of the Khaddorians. Oppressed and pushed in the far end of the jungle where resides the most dangerous creatures, the Jotaig had no choice but to adapt to their environment and forget about their ancient civilization. They learned from the Sylvaris (faeries of the jungles) the many ways of surviving the jungle and most importantly, the respect they must have for each creature given by nature.
They are nomad warriors that hunt in a daily basis. Every single son and daughter are trained until it's coming age (15 years old) to be a skillful hunter and warrior. Legends say that Shakan, the Beast Lord was the one to teach the first Jotaig Leader, Rakat, how to fight like a true Jotaig warrior.
They have one city, Rakatstad, which is located on the outskirts of the jungle near the ocean, and a few other villages around it.
When they go hunting, their habitation consists of tents made of tinted red leather of Vlupuar, a four-legged herbivorous creature.
Their current Kaist is Throd the brutalizer. He is, what we would call, an iron-fisted leader.
The Jotaig mainly live off hunting, fishing, and a few trades with locals of Khauran like the druids and pirates of the east.
THE TAURENS
The Sons of Betrayal
Hated by the Jotaigs for not only winning the civil war, they are also the most advanced in terms of civilization. That could easily be explained by the security of their location.
They are located on the western coast of Khauran. Unlike the Jotaig who have a direct access to the sea, they only have a river that flows from the border and mountains that guard their back with fertile lands bellow.
The Tauren tribe is the most advanced in terms of civilization. This tribe is actually a kingdom. They are much more populated than the Jotaigs and one would assume that since they actually have an army, they would single-handedly beat the Jotaig... But that's not the case. They have different strategies and lifestyle which makes them pretty equal in terms of strength. Though, they far exceed the Jotaig's population by at least half. That can be explained due to their sedentary behavior and focus on agriculture.
Their King is Thetlius the poor. Why such a title? Well, he was what really made the Tauren tribe really evolve into a kingdom. He has been in power for over fifty years after his father died in the war of a hundred years with the Jotaig and he really fixed up his kingdom. He was a modest king, one who believed in his people and trusted them. He protected them and gave all of his wealth.
He was the complete opposite of his father, a complete tyrant that only wanted power and wealth. How did he end up so drastically different? Rumors say that his mother was the real reason. A young Jotaig who was abducted very young and, according to Jotaig, raped repetitively. Of course, this will always remain a controversy since no one truly knows the reality of things.
Unfortunately, he fell ill with age. His breaths were counted yet he still felt the need to accomplish something important for his people. In fact, for his race. He wants to unify the Khaddorians in hope of a better future.​
INFORMATION
Below are vital information on the Valekian culture
RACE ATTRIBUTES
Khaddorians resemble feline races and can breed with each other even if they have jaguar, lion, lynx, or panther attributes. They usually stand between 7ft and 8ft. They usually weight between 150 to 250 pounds, but this can vary dramatically. Typically, females are 20% times smaller than males but sizes vary.
Their racial advantages are their unmatched acrobatic abilities and their natural claws. They are physically tough or very agile. Of course, they are quick and Khaddorians have developed a natural proficiency in stealth and night vision.
Due to these racial attributes, they are often seen as 'beasts' by the Valekians and sometimes even Elves.

MAGIC
The magic Khaddorians have access to is sorcery, similarly to Valekians. It is not a very powerful magic unless one has a great pool of chakra, which is rare in the Khaddorians. The most one ever reached is 4 which is more than the Valekians who never reached beyond a chakra pool of 2.
