Homebrew Chalicans Species Details

The Chalicans are a relatively young, notably horselike race, by the world's standards. A mere thousand or so years ago, the first lumbered out onto the northern plains of the Western Continent, Aprabba, from the forests and jungles of its south. They share a close relationship with the fey. Some Chalicans take this a step further, worshipping the more powerful fey, though most practice a form of animism. They consider the centaurs their kin, though the two are only distantly related, like most mammals. Most make their living in ways familiar to more rural settled humans, including herding animals, tending to their crops of fruits, nuts, vegetables, and a few grains, catching fish, carpentry... The list goes on. Seemingly for the entirety of their existence, the Chalicans have had a rivalry (sometimes friendly, sometimes violent) with the Lizardfolk, who are a similarly young race. And so, though they prefer more peaceful ways of living, this eternal rivalry has lead to the Chalicans having a surprisingly well-organized military for an egalitarian tribal society.
