culture and villages                

Millions of years ago a long forgotten God had created these creatures and given them the name Enaidyr, which in the language of their God means Short Souls.

The culture of the Enaidyr is one of ancient roots, having had existed for many years. In their culture they live in villages, known for their high understandings of science, technology, and the arcane arts. These villages are lead by leaders called Clan mothers which are chosen each time a Clan mother retires.
