|Introduction=The Olsendi are a race native to Payalwa. They currently reside on a reservation, in North-west Payalwa, although some free villages of Olsendi still exist in the far north west.
|Introduction=The '''Mifajene''' are an otter-like race native to [[Balúrail]] and its original inhabitants. Most live on the [[Mifajene Reservation]] in north-west Balúrail. A smaller number, known as free Mifajene, live in villages in [[Eimbuver]].
|Origin and Nature=The Olsendi are born from the spirit of the swamp, [[Tragget]]. His children were the original inhabitants of the great swamp realm of Payalwa.
|Origin and Nature=The Mifajene were created by [[Tahami]], the [[Ascendant Spirit]] of bogs and swamps. They spread throughout the swamps of Balúrail and were its only inhabitants until the arrival of the humans who became the [[Tuzquão]].

The Olsendi are small fur covered creatures sleek bodies. The males tend to be a little bit larger with longer whiskers but other differences are minimal.
The Mifajene resemble large otters. They have long, low bodies, short legs, webbed feet, a thick tapering tail, and dense waterproof fur, usually brown with a paler throat. They move on four legs and stand upright on their hind legs to use their forepaws, which are dexterous enough to handle tools. Standing, an adult is 80–90 cm tall.


They are strong swimmers and spend much of their time in the water. Their diet consists mainly of fish. Mifajene live 30–40 years.
|Abilities and Osia=Most Mifajene are attuned to Tahami's [[Osia]], known as Tragasia, which allows them to manipulate their swampy surroundings. They use it to build their homes and to help hunt for food.
|Culture and Society=Mifajene society is tribal and decentralized, and originally consisted of numerous small bands. Since the arrival of the Tuzquão they have distinguished between free Mifajene and those who live on the reservation.


Their diet consists mainly of fish.
The Mifajene have hunted and relied on the [[Aerbicar]] for thousands of years, and depict it in their cave art.
|Culture and Society=The Olsendi have a tribal society, originally consisting of numerous small bands. With the coming of the [[Morusi]] they now separate themselves as free Olsendi or non-free Olsendi (those that live on the reservation).
|Notable Settlements=* [[Mifajene Reservation]], a semi-autonomous region of the [[League of Balúrail]]
|Technology and Warfare=The Olsendi are classified as a low-tech society.
* [[House of Tahami]], the sacred seat of Tahami, on the reservation
|Abilities and [[Osia]]=Due to their close relationship with Tragget, the Olsendi have innate abilities to manipulate their swampy surrondings. They use Osia to build their homes and help hunt for food.
* Sejelheto, the largest free village in Eimbuver
|Relations with Other Races=The Tuzquão displaced the Mifajene from most of Balúrail over several generations, and the early League of Balúrail subjugated the remaining population. Fewer than 4,000 free Mifajene remain in Eimbuver.
