Jaugir

The jaugir are humanoid creatures with black eyes, long limbs and dark grey skin. The biology of the jaugir's allows their lifespan to extend to around three hundred years. They've adapted to darkness and rapid change of light making them deadly in the dark of night. The jaugir originally lived in caves to hide from the dangerous wildlife of Kül Arazi. Later the jaugir created tunnels and caverns connected to the surface with large forts and castles. For hundreds of years the jaugir's waged war against the khivals trying to banish the khivals from the ashen lands until truce was signed and the khivals agreed to leave the island with the tension between the species staying high. The jaugir first learned about magic during the wars with the khivals and many used battle magic in their desperate moment proving to be quite powerful in the arts of magic. Nowadays many jaugir rely on magic only in combat as they think magic is a curse by the khivals. Today jaugir's only wishing to live in peace on their lands and do not take kindly to other species on their island. The jaugir live by the lava underground using the warmth and glow to warm and light the caverns. The jaugir have been growing strange herbs trough their long existence on this planet. These herbs usually make creatures calm down and want to order pizza and call other by the phrase "man". Race abilities: good agility because of the long arms and legs, good vision in dark, strong in magic (still weaker than high elves and the khival) Race weaknesses: bad muscle strength, sudden bright lights blind them for a couple seconds and sun light mildly irritates them. Worship: the six above In Jaugir society, there are no true kings or lords. Most forts and hidden cities are controlled by a council made up of the best mages and wisest scholars, who control everything from economy to militaristic order. Jalakaya is the most successful settlement in the Ashen Lands, its city carved into a dormant volcano and producing tons of minerals. However, any other race would have too much trouble trying to mine due to the large release of smoke, ash, and toxic gases, but the Jaugir seem to be immune and can breath with no major detriment, allowing the lower classes of their people to mine without the help of magic or machinery of any type.. gems to bring it infamy and wealth. No foreigner has ever set foot in the city and lived to tell about it, and so all reports come from the already solitary and strange Jaugir themselves.
