Ceniph

Ceniphs are 6"-10"-sized individuals that live in high canopy trees on the Vai Continent.

Culture

Shared customary codes and values

Etiquette

Most Ceniphs share the universal philosophy that all creatures are equal. As such, in almost a naive way, they often approach strangers openly upon first sight, unless otherwise deterred.

The Glide

All Ceniphs are born with an instinctual Tagon which they call the Glide. The Glide allows them to momentarily gain altitude and glide for kilometers at a time. Of which, they will arrive at their destinations hundreds of kilometers away in just a couple of days.

Average technological level

Ceniphs are capable of rough steel production. Most of their official armies are equipped with steel weaponry, however their main technological rebound is Termoyl. Ceniphs are the most potent race capable of using Termoyl, far exceeding both the Knomnolites and the Yetinaphs.

Art & Architecture

Ceniph cities are built in the high jungle canopies in the Vai forests. They are often bee-hive shaped, and residential buildings have been known to take several hundred families at once. These cities expand miles, although are relatively sparsely populated. They can only be seen either using thermal imaging, or spotting the torch lights late during the night without light pollution.
Since some Ceniph tribes are nomadic, sometimes these canopy buildings are found abandoned.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

A common sense of beauty is hair. Both men and women sport exceptionally long hair, and even in terms of royalty, use glowing Termoyl-based extensions. Those with white or golden hair, the rarest of traits in the population, are seen as the highest form of beauty.
