First, their fur pattern disappeared and left a slightly thicker skin, especially on the back to make them more resistant to flank attacks but also making it easier for them to use their Ubervia to enhance themselves and reach great speeds.

[...] Nothing represents more in Paranis the embodification of Nature. Aferchites are creatures just like us, bound to rules, but their necessary comfort is totally different from ours, the Primers. Besides of that, they're so important in this...symbiosis between us and them, and Primentis in general. Removing just one Aferchites Pack somewhere in their natural environment would be the downfall of this area and with strong consequences impacting the nearby Primers. [...] Kuray'Colomb during a televisioned and streamed Light meetingsThe Aferchites are creatures, originated from the Primentis branch. They were originally created as a test from Afernaza, Fjörgynn and Aztodral to recreate in certain aspects the Primer Races society with different handcrafted creatures. As time passed, the two previously mentioned entities held their own Pack, a term used to describe the group under the Afernarian rulership and the race became so important within Paranis that a lot of symbiosis between the different Afernarian and the local Primer Races civilizations were made, making them important or essential for the Primers to properly survive. The term etymology comes from Afernaza and -chites (pronounced "Kaï-t-ss") probably comes from an Ancient Kharis or Hansean term for "offspring".

History
The origins of the Aferchites goes way back during the Pure Kharises space colonizations around the -18th and -17th centuries. Located on Terradomum, Afernaza and Theiamat discovered the Arendmal colony fleet and made contact with them. It was the first time such exchanges were made between Primentis and a Primer Races, as the Space Age just began. In -1775, Aztodral was created and became the First Intendant which role was to understand how the Primer Races societies were shaped, and later, Fjörgynn was born to shape Aztodral final analysis, thus creating the first Aferchites in -1768, making Fjörgynn the first Afernarian to ever exist in -1756. These interactions between the Primer Races and Aferchites went further when Edraïstos was created within the Hansean League territory to pursue a goal of trader, a form of work for his kin. Thanks to his great work and relationship with the League, he plays a huge part within their economy, notably through earthwork, especially mining and extracting, refining its resources, and shaped his Pack around this aspect to forage better, but also making it easier for different minerals to "grow" quickly. On her side, Theiamat will move eastward and settle there, within the Kayfen territory. The real Aferchites "civilisation" is taught to be around -1326 with the first Packs spreads but also Pnökkelkir role to improve the Aferchites and offer a different point of view to Afernaza. During the 6th century, the Second Intendant was created, Olkor, while Aztodral ruled her own Pack for more than a millenia and move northward, where Primer Races were less present Olkor's purpose was to enhance the Hieralchia both in terms of understanding and how to improve it further in different ways, focusing on the sense of belonging to the Hieralchia and the Pack itself. This objective also had a more subtile goal, because of Pnökkelkir influence and how he should reach his goal to improve the Paranis Sector but also the Aferchites themselves. He noticed during his works among the civilisations and throughout history that the fastest way for a civilisation or a Pack to evolve is through conflict, and would cause, a century later the Ragnarök. During this period, several Afernarians were corrupted or influenced through the Hieralchia influence made by Olkor and Pnökkelkir causing conflicts all around Paranis. Pnökkelkir's death will occur circa 1770, after a raid to recapture the Jörmugandr by Theiamat. The Ragnarök would end around 1800, but will officially end during the Olkor's case, where he himself went rogue through Pnökkelkir schemes on Sancta, killing Euryale who defended her pack and the Sanctarians from Olkor's burning corruption. Since the Ragnarök, several survivors, who were corrupted by Pnökkelkir like Hezcaitel are still traumatized to this day. Afterwards, Aztodral moved to Arrhein and the planet became what could be named Headquarters for the Aferchites. The Reforging Period was a long breath of fresh air necessary to everyone, including the Aferchites, and Afernarian as a whole, where Olkor works were applied to change and improve the Hieralchia and the different Packs in different ways. In 2400, a new Primentis race will appear with the spawn of Priases led by Pok'Rias. Their purposes is totally different and still blurry for a lot of nations, yet, several Afernarians remains on their grounds or even hostile towards them, while the nations could fear a 2nd Ragnarök with Primentis in the middle of the conflict while the Primer Races will suffer and be collateral targets from such a grand scale warfare. Until now though, it's more of a cold war, and more territory skirmishes between Afernarian and their Packs and the invading Priases seeking to spread for further communications and new areas to discover. During the Sancta's War, Medustyale led several of her Aferchites to silence the rebellion led by Ar'Feanör who used his cursed flames given as torture from Olkor to kill some of his own kin. The Priases also tried to infiltrate themselves during the conflict, but were quickly repelled by Medustyale strategies and uses of her Pack with the help of the Sanctarians defending themselves.What are they ?
Physiology
As told, Aferchites are mostly animal-like creatures that can be seen all around the Paranis Sector. Especially in their early days were only an handful type of creatures were made to pursue specific goals. These specifics were kept so each creature would have a specific purpose to make the Pack survives, yet several also possess a more general bodytype to fullfill different roles. One of the most known to use as an example is the Afling. It is from the faelidae branch and probably the Aferchite with the most variation ever made. Besides of its genetics simplicity, the creature has also been simplified in some aspects to pursue their purpose as scouts, feeders but also hunters as a quick frontline attacker.First, their fur pattern disappeared and left a slightly thicker skin, especially on the back to make them more resistant to flank attacks but also making it easier for them to use their Ubervia to enhance themselves and reach great speeds.
