Kolikoly
The Kolikoly are a secluded race of penguins that mostly reside on an icy continent to the south of Malplenan. However, since they are rare on the continent there is little understanding of their language. This makes it very unclear where or how exactly they live. Some expiditions have sent ships off to the south in search of their homeland but none have returned. A rare Kolikoly has been known to live on the mainland, but their awkwardness away from the sea and ice as well as their view that there is strength in numbers makes it rare. The little that is known seems like they gather in large cities and settlements but have no formal government that rules over them. Instead they have peers that they respect more than others in various facets and look to them for leadership.
