Sondiri
The Sondai or Dasbrúmúnag are a race that resemble a combination of Orcs and the Sasquatch in American myth. Native to Western Eveynjar, the Sondai are a race that often ally themselves with Halleans and the Yandiri, and often are found in Hallojar, Yandaijar, Western Empyria, and the Savaboia plain. In their native tongue, the Sondai call themselves the Dasbrúmúnag or Trial Born Men, as they have been subject to many tribulations throughout their history. Even their chief god, Malmadas, is a God of Trials, who rewards them for thriving in tribulation.
Beings of the Wilds
Like the Yandiri and Jondiri, the Sondiri were originally mistaken to be a form of elf, as they possess pointed ears that are generally perceived as the hallmark of a fae-descended race. However, it is now believed that the Sondiri along with their other kin are actually troll-folk, as their bestial blood makes them more aligned with the Whale-trolls seen across Eveynjar, and those also possess thick hair, tusks, and pointed ears.
Unlike the Yandiri and Jondiri, the Sondiri are known for being incredibly resilient, being seen over many different climates of Western Eveynjar and known for their crafting capabities.
Peoples of the Earth
Having lived in Eveynjar since before the Fall of Valoreum, the Sondiri were believed to have had a more expansive range than their modern counterparts, ranging across most of the continent. However, with the creation of many nations, the Sondiri were pushed out to the fringes. This is because of the Sondiri belief system. They believe that structures should be apart of nature and destroying nature for the advancement of urbanization is an affront to their gods, so the Sondiri create settlements by moving earth and creating earthwork buildings. With this conflict of beliefs with other races, the Sondiri were pushed out to the fringe of civilization. Then, when the Raptoran Crisis happened 2500 years ago, instead of raiding the Sondiri settlements, the Raptoran saw them as potential allies, and the two races became synonymous with one another.
Like said earlier, the Sondiri create earthwork buildings, which often then become covered in endemic plants, serving as homes not just for the Sondiri, but for wildlife as well. When Sondiri are within nature, they don't fatigue like many other races do. Instead the unnaturalness of urban areas can grate on Sondiri senses and often fatigue their psyche.
