RP UDIIN: The Lesser Realm of Raspart
Raspart is a harsh place, but only to those who do no know her. A cross between arid scrubland, desert and some thick jungle, it is home to many vicious beasts and few resources on the surface. Established community could never develop in such a harsh and untamed wild. The creatures of Raspart show this, with greatly larger bodies and impressive strength. Over 70% ar carnivourous, but the herbivores, in their defensive manouvres, are the most dangerous and are often avoided. A large amount of flora is spread about the land, mostly in the jungle where some flora have evolved into fauna, or in other words, man-eating plants. There are no true cities, but a large amount of small settlements which the inhabitants of the land move around to. The largest is known as Cale'On, the Motherhold. It is located on the side of a waterfall and the jungle and has a breathtaking view of the valley. It is used sparsely, as it embodies the spirit of Raspart itself. It is an unforgiving place, but only to those who do not know her.
Often called the Wildmen because of their behaviour and appearance, Udiin's people are actually called the Banora. They are quite similar to humans, but much taller, heavier built and often with horns and tails. They have a very primitive society, but are not as many believe so stupid. They know of smithing and other such practices, but favour living amongst the wild. They are fiercely territorial, full of passion and determination, but with room for love amongst their tribe and people.
The Banora excel physically in almost every way. Unfortunately, they are not as smart as other nations and are slightly xenophobic to anything outside Raspart. They are a nomad society and always live on the move. However, they are great lovers of history and record much of their past in rudimentary books and other things. They revere the land as their mother, and Udiin as their father, and worship both on a regular basis, as well as offerings of a hunt and crafts. They favour a great courage and strength among their people, and while not putting intelligence in high regard, still think it very useful to the people. They are split into 6 large tribes, but all of them share similar beliefs and values and work in harmony. There is no much time for war in such a harsh land after all, but there have been records of skirmishes in the past, often very vicious ones.
