|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]].

|Introduction=The '''Mifajene''' are a small, furred, semi-aquatic 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 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 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 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 2 ft 7 in – 2 ft 11 in (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.

|Abilities and Osia=Most Mifajene are attuned to Tahami's [[Osia]] and practice the Path of Tahami, 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.

The Mifajene have hunted and relied on the [[Aerbicar]] for thousands of years, and depict it in their cave art.

|Notable Settlements=* [[Mifajene Reservation]], a semi-~~autonomous~~ region of the [[League of Balúrail]]

|Notable Settlements=* [[Mifajene Reservation]] (''Tid'iye'', "place apart"), a semi-sovereign region of the [[League of Balúrail]]

* Beltesha, the largest settlement on the reservation, at the mouth of the Ayellaye River

* [[House of Tahami]], the sacred seat of Tahami, on the reservation

* Sejelheto, the largest free village in Eimbuver

* Sejelheto, the largest free village in Eimbuver, at the mouth of the Toso River

|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.

|Relations with Other Races=The Tuzquão displaced the Mifajene from most of Balúrail over several centuries. In the First Mifajene War, c. 320–342 ME, the League of Balúrail took the southern and coastal lowlands, and in the Second Mifajene War, c. 590–612 ME, the rest of the lowlands. In 704 ME a forced treaty confined most of the remaining Mifajene to the [[Mifajene Reservation]]. About 7,000 free Mifajene remain in Eimbuver.
