The Coquíans

The Coquían tend to have outwardly neutral relations with all the races except for three in particular: the first being the Anabaguas, who they see as not only the Eldest and therefore worthy of respect on that basis alone, but as worthy friends who respect nature and the jungles. Only the coquían know the full extent of how The Blight has affected the anabaguas, and so want to end the war in the heavens by any means necessary, which is why they absolutely loathe the Hurákani and Wolákani; the coquían see these two races as the absolute reason that the land is dying, and the Eldest along with it. According to the coquían, the war in the heavens would not have extended to the earth had these two races not been created by Ataba and Yokaho, and so their existence is to blame for the current calamities on Boricubos.

Foreign Relations

the Anabaguas

The only other race to be completely neutral about the war in the heavens. They have their own problems to deal with, The Blight and all, and can’t afford to lose any more lives. They should really be more honest about their situation though. If the other races only understood that their war is literally killing the Eldest, then they’d be sure to come to some sort of peaceful resolution. As it is, the anabaguas are suffering and dying off in droves, a situation which must be remedied by bringing peace to the land, or finding some other solution.

the Baracúdens

They don’t bother us, and we don’t bother them, and that’s how we’d rather keep things. It’s the teeth, you know? It’s like they’re always eyeing you to be their next meal. Okay, okay, that’s unfair, we know that they have that whole “honor to guard us from the creatures of the deep” thing going on, but, honestly, how much of that is really what they say it is, and how much of it is just them trying to expand their territory? We’re not ones to take a guess but, with this war going on, they might be doing just that on the actual archipelago of Boricubos: “expanding their territory”.

The Hurákanis

Elemental beings of wind and water, the elements of a hurricane. Now we’re not saying they are as destructive as a storm of that nature, but what we do know is this: their presence along with that of the wolákani are killing the Eldest with The Blight. If the hurákani really cared about the archipelago of Boricubos, they’d leave and never come back; it’s not as if they don’t have the ability to live anywhere in the ocean they want. Until they do that, they are officially enemies of true nature. We don’t care that the gods declared a racial war to go along with their holy war, this madness must stop, and it must stop now!

The Iguacas

Poor, poor, creatures. Once they were like us, and went to the Eldest for every conceivable problem there is. But they have been corrupted over time, and I’m afraid this war in the heavens showed their true colors. They’re nothing but mercenaries who care about material possessions rather than the effects this war is having on the archipelago and its people. They side with whatever side pays them the most in food and supplies, forgetting the true face of nature and turning towards corrupting civilization with every passing day.

the Taínems

Ah, how foolhardy the taínem are. They once held such promise as the true inheritors of the land, but have been tricked by the wolákani into abandoning nature entirely. With this betrayal, we can understand why the Eldest are trapping the jungles the way they do, however, we do believe there is hope. The taínem were once the anabaguas greatest students, even more so than us coquían! It is not impossible to believe they can be brought back into the fold and relearn what they have so obviously forgotten, hopefully saving the anabaguas in the process.

the Wolákanis

These creatures of earth and fire claim to be servants of creation itself, saying that without the destructive power of the volcano and fire, there would be no archipelago of Boricubos. That there would be no civilization. Though we agree with the first bit, there is no way that we can simply allow them to continue on attacking the baracúden as they have been, or going into destructive battle with the hurákani! When the elements are out of alignment, the land starts to die. If they are so proud of the destructive power of volcanos, why don’t they ask the great goddess Boina to make them a new archipelago, so this silly conflict can finally come to an end?
