Nashitiri

The Nashitiri, as the collective race is called, has nine subspecies scattered across the world of Desolation. This section has information on them as a whole but if you wish to learn more, please select an individual subspecies.

Shared History
Nashitiri history is commonly broken down into four eras. During the Unified era, the Nashitiri was one race, powerful and magically sensitive. After some time, they broke into nine subraces. Now in a Post-Contact War era, their survival has always been on a razor's edge.

Unified
What is known is limited; mainly due to this era being deep in their prehistory. What is known is from recorded accounts from Domum Ignus surveyors examining Desolation for possible colonization. At one point, the Nashitiri was one unified race, but their rapid breeding rate allowed them to diversify very quickly. It is during this era, contact with the Sphynx became regular, however it is unclear if this was the catalyst for the species fracture; but it did affect them heavily as a civilization.

Fracture
Sometime in the last twelve millennia, the Nashitiri became to diverge as they started to spread and migrate around the world. After the initial Fel survey teams began the colonization effort in earnest, their divergence only accelerated rapidly.

Contact War
Nashitiri society was fairly advanced in a relatively short amount of time. They were entering the industrial age by the time they gained the Fel's attention. Shortly afterwards, the Nashitiri rebelled against the tyrannical Lord Governor; this culminated into the Contact War with the Nashitiri forces lead by the Qo-Tunari Combine. The war ended with the destruction of the home region of the Qo-Tunari Combine in the mountainous region in the north eastern corner of the continent; creating the Tun-Iru Creator. Even after thousands of years, the Qo and the Tun population hasn't fully recovered.

Modern Era
While not necessarily warring amongst themselves, they are far from unified. Two millennia ago, the Qo started to send Missionaries to spread and rekindle Nashitiri magic.

Common Morphology
All Nashitiri have a common set of traits that binds them as a species. They have a pair of horns, large ears, a body half covered in fur, hermaphroditic, with a tail and feline like feet.

Other than basic cosmetic differences, all Nashitiri has these features.

Hermaphroditism
The leading cause of their high reproductive rates is due to their hermaphroditism. Like most indigenous creatures on Desolation, they are hermaphrodites allowing for more than fifty percent of their population to be pregnant at any given time.

Innate Magic
All Nashitiri are innately magical in some nature. Not many of the subraces have taken up the time and effort to master it and there is one that has totally rejected magic in its entirety.
