THE NIZINJA PEOPLE

The husky voice belonged to Hammer, a non human and a member of the Nizinja race. Black and brown fur covered his body, he had a black snout with black and brown pointed ears at the top of his head.
He wore hardened leathers which covered his body, adding to already aggressive features.
At all times he looked moments away from getting his teeth around Nceba's neck and pulling his Adams apple out before cooking and eating it.

Yet to Nceba's surprise, Hammer's expression had softened quite quickly.

"I was just," Hammer began but Nceba was already walking.

Nceba stopped and turned. "Hammer, the night guard, Erant and Lucy give their wishes to Madam Fair."

"Lucy?" Hammer echoed back bewildered.

"The captain of the night Watch's oldest daughter." Nceba replied.

Nceba didn't have to look at Hammer to know that he was lost. His people, or rather he, had a history of being very straight thinkers.

Civilization and Culture

History

It is considered that the sub races were split apart by a cataclysmic event and that the island they evolved from separated from the Continent and moved through the ages.

The three parted from the whole and should return to the core. They dedicate themselves to a pilgrimage back home. But despite the different factions and the pilgrimages lasting centuries, they’ve never seen their home.

This, despite hundreds of faith boats being sent out, to the present day with plans moving into the future.

Thousands, if not tens of thousands of Nizinja give money to help the cause to go back and bring all faithful to the island. The searchers of Yesonto and the multiple pantheons, these being between the two.
