Ive decided top put the thaaren lore into a journal format to keep track of the ideas and whatnot, have fun reading em!

"Thaaren civilization is one of perseverance, reverence, and determination. Their land, the Kaan Mountains, expanses most of the western world, and is the gateway to the Shattered Expanse, a supercontinent of unexplored regions, rumored to hold untold powers and riches beyond mortals' wildest dreams. Thaaren society is one of connection, support, and codependency, for if a thaaren tribe were to be uncooperative with one another, then that spells doom for them. The Kaan Mountains are home to the most dangerous of creatures, from the flying Cakthuur, to the burrowing werrmkel, to even the tiny purasynn.
"One of the three moons that revolve this world is named Eltraan, named after the thaaren deity who they believed to have gifted their kind with strong bodies and sharp minds. This moon is the only one that is shattered, the visible floating pieces could be seen from the highest peaks to the lowest valleys. These pieces, which are called Moon-tear by many, occasionally will fall to the realm and embed themselves deep in the ground. These pieces are highly volatile, and the energy within them warps the surrounding areas - the bigger the piece, the larger the radius. It is from these pieces that over several centuries thaarens were warped and forcefully evolved until they became what they are today.
"In thaaren tribes, there is no chieftan like most olden tribes from the other lands, but a council of those who become head of their respective roles, often chosen by those within said roles. This tribal council often dictates the inner workings of the tribe, what each clan should accomplish, and organizations of hunts, gatherings, festivals, and diplomatic relations. No one is seen lesser than another, for they understand the ramifications of dissention and discord: complete annihilation of the dangerous monsters of Kaan.
"Thaarens come in a variety of colors, often their coats shine in these prismatic hues during the spring and summer, when the winds from the Great Spire - the largest mountain in the world, which actually is the largest Moon-tear to exist - are less harsh, which allows their crops to be bountiful and their hunts to be plenty. Their coats, however, turn into more muted colors when winter arrive, to allow them to hide and camouflage themselves when hunting prey.
"Thaarens have excellent sense of smell and hearing, but not as good eyesight, since most thaarens live in large burrows. Most thaarens come with a pair of horns, but can have multiple. All thaarens have antennae that glow softly, blessings from the great Eltraan, which harness the chaotic energy of Moon-tear and allow them to utilize it in many ways; although the most common is for the antennae to be used as sensors, some roles utilize them for craftsmanship or Tearaa ('magic'). Thaaren weaponry is based on tearaa, the energy of the Moon-tear, but unlike the diluted variants the rest of the world uses to mitigate the voalitile energy, thaarens use the raw energy."
