Juema

"This tall elegant being has both a long tasseled tail like that of a soft horse, groomed luxurious fur, and small stubble horns that adorn its adorable face. A serene gleam of its fur coat embellishes itself in a gentle breeze of coastal wind." - Valengar's Studies on: The Torian Races and Culture

History:

The Juema have occupied their home Island of Maisill since the Amnbheric era, and have generally kept to themselves. They have not partaken in any wars to their initiative, and have not needed to fend off any attacks due to the protective 'Maisylva' that encompasses their island.

Culture:

Because of their exclusion from conflicts, the Juema prize their cities as being both the oldest and most maintained of all of Tor. The great coastal wind sweeps up all the debris and sand from Thova, and heads up north to bank around Maisill. The way it strikes the light causes a massive mirage that the ancient juemas used to worship as the spirit of the wind, or 'Maisylva', but now revere. Wind is a very important symbolic aspect of a juema's life, and their cities are dotted with countless tapestries that represent the physical form of the wind. Juemas value hanging cloths, flags, tapestries, and wind chimes with the upmost importance and a sign of racial culture. While Maisill does not have any beaches, it's cliff sides accompany the whole island, and is beautifully decorated by its inhabitant's open-aired cities.
