Biological Cycle

They have false immortality. So long as they have purpose, they live as long as they need. Every century that passes brings a little more pain to their bodies. They must sing in the Song of Ages every centry to announce their purpose and ask for life from their god. They can live up to two hundred years after the Song, but after the first century they age as humans do. Some of them liv so long and sing so often that they transcend this into becoming a force of creative nature.

History

The first Endrugalim was born when Endrugal's first human love, Thalia, gave birth to their first child, Marson. As he grew, his father realized that, unlike other Shindar-human hybrids, Marson did not grow wings at puberty. When Endrugal consulted his felllow Shindar about this, he discovered that his child was cut off from the energy the Shindar shared with their spawn.  

Endrugalim were officially named when Endrugal named them himself, announcing it to the children of each of his human lovers. These children, though they had pointy ears and magical sensitivity like their father, lacked the inherant energy that Shindar naturally have.

 

Though Endrugal shared his secrets with his children, they all grew up in very different circumstances based on their locations and mothers. Thalim grew up in a forest filled with large pine trees, thus they have excellent climbing abilities and agility. Sandrans grew up in the marshy delta of Serodechia. They gained the ability to swim and they also gained a strong stomach due to the harsh plants and smells of their environment. Cretites grew up in the volcanic archipelago near Naeghat and thus learned to swim, fish and sail. Though Endrugal had children with two other lovers, their children remain in close-knit communities and did not procreate.
