Huolians (Hue oh lee ans)
The Huolians are a race of humans. They have lived on the island archipelago of Huola for generations. They are a very religious society and worship a god of the sun and a goddess of the sea. Each island in the archipelago is typically dozens of chunks large, and is run by a tribe leader of its own. They live life socializing with each other and working, completely unaware of the existence of a mainland that is Minecraftia, believing there to be nothing but ocean beyond the horizon. It is believed that a king that will unite all the islands will be born of the goddess of the sea and will bring the Huolians to the Promised Lands, a task in which the Hero of the Sea, Hokuikekai, fulfills.
