Ibexi

Ibexi are a race of mountain dwelling goat-folk native to the continent of Ansalon. They are known for their remarkable mountaineering abilities and their unique physical features.

Culture: 

Ibexi are renowned for their courage and bravery. They are proud mountaineers and are often seen scaling the highest peaks in search of adventure and new challenges. Despite their independence, the Ibexi are also known for their strong sense of community and their deep connections to their families. They value bravery and skill above all else, and their cultural traditions reflect this emphasis on personal strength and endurance. The Ibexi are known for their physical prowess and their love of athletics, as well as their remarkable ability to eat nearly anything. This has led to a lack of culinary experimentation in their culture, with the Ibexi relying on simple, hearty meals to fuel their active lifestyles. Despite their fierce competitiveness in sports and other activities, the Ibexi are generally good-natured and enjoy friendly athletic competitions with allies. They place a high value on fair play and sportsmanship, and believe that physical activity and bonding with others through sport are essential for good health and happiness.

Sports: 

The Ibexi have a strong cultural tradition of athleticism and sports. They are known for their fierce competitiveness and their love of challenges. Many Ibexi sports are centered around their mountaineering abilities and their love of heights, including races up and down steep peaks, as well as competitions in rock climbing and high-altitude acrobatics. In addition to these traditional sports, the Ibexi have also invented several unique games of their own, including a fast-paced game of dodgeball played with large stones, and a test of agility and endurance involving leaping across a series of suspended ropes and platforms.

Inventions: 

The Ibexi are known for their ingenuity and their ability to make the most of the resources available to them. They have developed a number of inventions that are central to their culture and daily life. The first is a sturdy harness and zipline system that allows them to safely traverse the steepest peaks and cliffs, allowing them to reach new heights and explore their mountainous environment and quickly travel between mountains. The second is a special kind of meat-drying rack that they use to preserve food for their long mountain journeys. The racks are designed to be lightweight and compact, yet strong enough to withstand the harsh mountain winds. To complement their nomadic lifestyle, the Ibexi have also invented a special kind of sled that they can use to transport their belongings, food, and equipment. The sled is made of lightweight materials and is designed to be easily pulled across the snow and ice that cover the highest peaks of the mountains. The sled is also equipped with a simple but effective braking system, allowing the Ibexi to safely navigate steep and icy slopes. This invention allows the Ibexi to travel efficiently and safely across the mountains, never losing their adventurous spirit

Appearance: 

The Ibexi have cloven hooves in place of hands and feet, but with an opposable secondary hoof, their hands are just as dextrous as those of other humanoids. Their goat-like appearance sets them apart from other races on Ansalon, with prominent horns and a muscular build well-suited to their mountainous habitat.
