Penarchian cyclopes Ethnicity in Scarterra | World Anvil

Penarchian cyclopes

This branch of cyclopes species is slowly and steadily declining. Only a couple thousand are left.   The cyclopes of Penarchia believe that were created by Greymoria , but they were too strong for Greymoria’s indirect scheming ways. Maylar saw their potential for greatness and adopted them, making them even stronger. They were and are the perfect race, the strongest humanoid mortals Scarterra has ever seen, destined to rule the world someday. They hunt and herd in remote wild areas and if they encounter inferior humanoids (all non-cyclopean humanoids), they kill and eat them.   The problem is the Penarchian cyclopes are not very unified. When they gather in large groups the cyclopes tend to fight. Most of them are loners or travel in small family units. The Penarchian city states don’t agree on much, but they agree the cyclopes are a menace that deserve to be wiped out. Each year in Penarchia, more cyclopes die than are born. Unless the Penarchian cyclopes either unify or make peace with the humans, it’s likely that they will be extinct within a few generations.
