Kuthar: Difference between revisions

From the vast plateau capital of Vurthan Shaft to the cliffside spiritual outpost of Vash-Tul, the Kutharen thrive in a world of constant change, their red-eyed hunters and gliding gatherers watching over the canyons below.

|Physical Characteristics=

|Physical Characteristics=*Nocturnal Gliders – While capable of brief bursts of powered flight, Kutharen primarily glide on the canyon winds, using their elongated limbs and leathery wings to soar between mesas with minimal effort.

*Nocturnal Gliders – While capable of brief bursts of powered flight, Kutharen primarily glide on the canyon winds, using their elongated limbs and leathery wings to soar between mesas with minimal effort.

*Enhanced Night Vision – Adapted for a world of deep canyons and twilight hunting, Kutharen possess highly sensitive eyes that allow them to see clearly in near-total darkness. Their large, red-hued eyes pick up faint traces of movement, making them skilled nocturnal foragers and hunters.

|History and Legends=* The Wind’s Blessing Ritual – Before a young Kutharen builds their first orchard or insect hive, they must climb to a mesa’s highest point and release a bundle of seeds and feathers into the wind, symbolizing their acceptance of change and renewal.

* The Forgotten Flight – Some mesas bear the remains of ancient Kutharen settlements, long abandoned as the land beneath them eroded into the depths below. The Kutharen do not mourn these losses, believing that the spirits of their ancestors still drift upon the canyon winds, whispering their wisdom in the currents.

|Notable Settlements=The Kutharen build their homes where the winds are strong, and the land is slow to erode. Their settlements are designed to adapt, shifting with the landscape rather than resisting it.

The Kutharen build their homes where the winds are strong, and the land is slow to erode. Their settlements are designed to adapt, shifting with the landscape rather than resisting it.

[[Vurthan Shaft]] – The capital and largest Kuthar settlement, located on the grandest plateau in [[Orrakar]]. Vurthan Shaft is a network of massive, interconnected wind-lattice platforms, reinforced with hardened resin and anchored to the rock. As the political and cultural heart of Kutharen society, it serves as a hub for trade, governance, and sky-hunting. Its location offers the most stable gliding routes between distant settlements.
