Hurra! Right, this place is not just here for me to rattle on for eternity, it's also for you people to ask questions and toss about ideas and soforth if that's your fancy. The "sister communities" to this are kashian and lemies, two of my other planetary projects.
Brief run-down:
Tae-Kahn is the home of three sentient races. The Guenitha, the Zaub, and the Grihfohn.
The Grihfohn, as you might conclude, are similar to the mythical gryphon in appearance, however, their anatomy is unique. There are three basic types, the eagle and hawk, the corvid, and the crane-related types. They cover the majority of the southern hemisphere below the equatorial region and are rather territorial and intollerant of their fellow Grihfohn neighbors. They're respectful of the Zaub, but are adimately against the Guenitha. There have been cases where individuals have shown telepathic abilities, as well as the ability to manipulate gases, liquids, and solids. There's also the ability unique, but almost extinct, among the Grihfohns of manipulating fire and ice.
Guenitha are the most developed and "fleshed out" of the three species. They are the largest preditor on the planet. They keep peace amung themselves and abhor violent behavior towards other Guenitha. Despite being fairly well spread throughout the northern hemisphere, the language is remarkably similar and there's only three major dialects. Currently there are over 300 words in guenithan language along with a writing system which is shared with all of the Guenitha. Some individuals have the much prised ability of telepathic communication, visions, and the ability to manipulate the emotions of others. Though individuals of great strength are rare and tend to be found once every other generation, the minimal abilities are fairly common in that one in every 50 Guenitha has at least basic telepathic ability. There is one clan that boasts the greatest consentraction of individuals with what the Guenitha callt he "Zaub Gift."
Zaub are felines that are a bit larger than a tiger. Their build varies between individuals and family lines. Though clothing isn't used, jewelery and other adornments are common due to their ability to manipulate the elements. Their craft and abilities are highly developed and the quality that they produce is far beyond what the Guenitha and Grihfohn are capable of. They thrive in loose groups with defined territories, although individuals will change prides several times throughout his or her lifetime.
