Homebrew Wishyan Species Details

 Loyal Citizens

The wishyan are very loyal soldiers to their nation. One of the rules in their culture is to be absolutely loyal to the country to which they belong and not to establish their own state. This brings them to be loyal even to the point of sacrificing their lives for the kingdom as if it were theirs. On the other hand, the wishyan can also be very cruel and unpredictibale when they are nervous and angry. 

Some of the wishyan didn't accept the Nevendirian religion and still live in a barbarian tribes alongside the other races of Seah-Deah. Becuase of that, you can still find some barbarian wishyans in the jungles of the archipelago. This is very rare to see one of the barbarian wishyan in other country.

Natural Priests
