The Beastmen

Beastmen, or Zvaro in their own language, are native to Ratimir and have a distinct culture compared to the rest of the world. Most of them believe in a form of natural selection, the strong live and the weak die. That is the true order of things and any attempt to deviate from that order is futile. Their societies are organized into tribes, commonly referred to by outsiders as packs. The beastmen consider both the term beastmen, and pack to be an offensive slur. In many Zvaro communities the sick, disabled and elderly are euthanized in a form of ritual combat called "yarosreer". During this ritual an elected member of the tribe will fight the weakened member. If the weakened member is victorious, they are allowed to stay in the tribe until their rights are challenged again. If the loser is not ill, the winner will consume their flesh. They believe that in doing so, you take what strength their opponent had and add it to their own. Zvaro begin being accused of weakness around the age of 35.
Small groups of Zvaro no longer operate in this way. They've formed their own societies that would be considered civilized by the rest of the world. Some believe they've done this to mimic the "more advanced" societies in Zekaron, but others just see it as the natural evolution of their society. Though their traditional ways are brutal and violent, it is chaotic unsustainable for their species. Building walled cities, and growing crops for food allows the population and society to grow. The rest of the Zvaro believe the city dwelling societies of their kind to be weak, and disgusting. A perversion of their natural order. They launch raids on their settlements often, but are typically repelled by the defenses. Zvaro towns tend to be very suspicious of outsiders, rarely letting anyone they do not know inside.
Zvaro come in many different shapes and sizes. Scholars from Brisaides have catalogued several variants they have seen by their resemblance to other animals native to Brisaides and Oleron. Zvaro reach adulthood at the age of 11.
-All Zvaro gain a +2 to their Wisdom score, but a -2 to their Intelligence score. Their senses have been fine tuned over centuries of constant fight or flight, but the lack of any form of education outside of what is necessary to survive tends to stunt their ability to learn through conventional means. -Zvaro have a base move speed of 30, and are medium sized, but this can change based on the variations of their species. -Zvaro gain proficiency in Survival, as their children are taught how to hunt and track at a very young age.
