Geprati
Conquerors of the Continent
In an ideal world we’d all stand united against the common threat, but alas, humans can’t even get three villages to collaborate peacefully, the alchen are too miserable to work with, and the panedur are comfortable sitting in peace on their mountain slopes.
Humans
The human species has been on Lethea far before the arrival of the other geprati. They waged a long and brutal war against the aberati, eventually coming out on top and driving their enemy into long centuries of seclusion. With the discoveries of certain lost technologies, mankind spread throughout the continent and created powerful empires, the first of which being the Empire of Lethea, the predecessor of Le Zhea. Others see humans as religious fanatics and nationalists who look down on other species. Even though many of them don’t hate other geprati purely on the basis of their species, they do still consider themselves to be superior. Mankind’s grip on the continent has become so strong that there are some now who wonder if any of the other geprati have a place in the world anymore.Alcheni
The last of the geprati to arrive on Lethean soil, the alcheni achieved a lot in the centuries after their arrival. At the height of their greatness, their imperium was the envy of all, but that golden age ended a long time ago. Long centuries of humiliation and the guilt many of them bare for the deeds of their ancestors have had their toll on them. Most have given up on rebuilding and instead embraced hedonism. The other geprati, especially the humans, view the alcheni as decadent fools who are unwilling to face their problems. There are, however, some who do wish to save their society from collapse, but often these people are drawn to extremist beliefs and the fires of their revolutions are as quick to burn out, but not before engulfing innocent lives in their flames.Orange Pumpkin by Jessica Lewis
