### Majority

The Isle of Calypso is one of the few places where a large mix of races is seen. Most cities in other lands have a majority of one or two races. The people in Clypsiana find it funny that other states find the 'unleashed' monster races are allowed to walk freely.

### Minority

Being a free state monstrous races do no need a license to live and work in the city. While Clypsiana is considered a melting pot of cultures and races racism isn't alien to the island. Even if they're native to the islands.

## Mavubili

*"I have to admit I never expected to find myself laughing in one of these filthy taverns. I also never expected to have laughed that hard. By the Gods I can’t remember the last time I laughed like that. It is in thanks to these three primates in an Adventuring party."*

*”Their antics are so childish and yet genius at the same time. The monkeys have the entire tavern in an uproar and even more are coming in from outside. I’ve heard of these Mavubili but expected them to be...well...not this. Glad to be wrong for once.”*

-Timothy von Drel, *High Elf nobleman*

## Joyful Simian

At first glance a Muvabili can be mistaken for a typical monkey or ape. However ever Muvabili have a common appearance. The Mavubili enjoy hanging upside down with their digitigrade legs or tail. Their eyes are much larger than most primates varying in colors from deep blue to sparkling gold.

Their faces hands, chest and  underbelly are the only parts not covered in fur which can be black, gray, brown, tan, orange or white. Some may have stripes or other patterns on their fur. Muvabili fur is very soft and smells wonderful. This makes the fur worth a very high price for anyone who can get their hands on it, even more due to Muvabili’s rarity.

## Legion of Many

Mavubili live and grow as a group, as a massive living creature made up of many.  The Commune is a huge troop of families, friends and mates, all of which are shared. Mavubili have very few personal possessions, what they do have is very important to them, but less so than the Commune. This makes naturally playful and compassionate. Mavubili do not hide their emotions or secrets.  The elder’s and  hunters tell stories and wisdom. Parents teach the children reading, writing and so on.

“A web is stronger than a lone thread.” is a common saying among the Mavubili and Caretakers. If a lone Mavubili is seen without a hunting troop or in an Adventuring party they are most likely an outcast or criminals (which are rare). This only happens if the Mavubili betrays or hurts the Commune in someway or puts themselves above the others.

Seeing other races act so selfishly is strange to the Mavubili. They’ll try to be the intermediary for other’s, believing teamwork and compromise compared to one’s personal beliefs. They are considered a nuisance and cowards to many because of their “Love not War” views. But it cannot be denied that Mavubili are able to lighten up the mood to nearly any situation. Taverns and bands love having them around. Their excitement and joy can be infectious.

\columnbreak

## Traveling Troop

The Mavubili were a primitive race easily hunted and eaten by Naga. As the generations past the Mavubili’s numbers diminished until the "Caretakers" came.  They took pity on the Mavubili’s struggle to survive. The Caretakers drove off many of the predators but even they could only do so much.

The new guardians took them to the nearby Midnight Pit, an Island inside a colossal cave. Though it was also crawling with dangerous creatures the Caretakers lead the Mavubili Commune to a secret canyon high up on the island. The Heartland, as it became known as, was a hive of caves, rivers and vegetation.

The Heartland proves fruits and fish for the inhabitants. But occasionally hunting parties accompanied by a single Caretaker travel outside to find bigger game. Trekking the dark jungles is a grave undertaking. The Hunting party say their goodbyes to the Commune as it may be their last time seeing them.

In order to join a hunting party every Mavubili must prove themselves. When a youth reaches 20 they and two others leave the safety of the Heartland on a pilgrimage. During this journey the youth are expected to hone their hunting skills as well as gather supplies for the Heartland, food, clothing, medicine and anything else the Caretakers and Island cannot provide. Some die in the expedition, other’s are capture while some choose not to return.

## Mavubili Names

Mavubili typically do not live as a single individual instead they consider themselves one part of many. Their names represent this as well. There are no clans or subgroups in the Commune so they name with other methods.As such there is not difference between male and female names. Some names are inspired on what an individual does best or a color they are. But the names are always a reminder that they are part of a larger whole by adding a number to their name.

### Living Gemstones

Unique is a term often used to describe the Gemfolk known as Crystalin. Their colors vary from sparking, rainbow White wondrous sapphire to deep, heavy obsidian and everything in between. Many enjoy the humanoid form although each adds their own personal flavor. Some have limb that are not attached, but hover nearby. Others try to have faces as similar to the other races as they can.

Whether exaggerated limbs or simple bodies Crystalin are not as refined as stones from Jewelers, but this doesn’t stop people from trying to sell off Crystal body parts.

Crystalin gives off a soft glow from their center. It is a magical force that gives life to the crystals that make up their body. While their form is durable to many attacks, their souls is not. It has been known to be very weak to energy based attacks as well as magic.

### Starborn
Arrival of Crystalin always seem to coincide with meteor showers. This has come to the theory that they are born from the stars themselves.

Crystalin come into consciousness a few days after falling from the night sky. Because of this many Crystalin believe in their own goddess Celesosa Vel, Mother of the Stars and Life. It is a common belief that since Crystalin rose from gemstones that life can be formed anywhere.

Rarely do they take on the religion of others, preferring the kind and creative Gelesosa Vel. Life is sacred to them and typically will give an attacker a chance to avoid fighting. Only the most corrupted Crystalin take pleasure from killing.

## Vespion

*"Such passion and willpower had no true definition until i met her. This woman flew from person to person to lend whatever aid she could, regardless of her missing arm. I wonder if she was even able to feel pain or was putting on a brave face for the others."*

*"Every time she moved a soft sent traveled passed my nose and I felt myself relax in her presence. Her determination for work was known throughout the town, but I never expected it to be of this level. She is something special. "*

*-Timothy von Drel, High Elf nobleman*

### Strong of Body and Mind

Vespions are at times called HoneyFolk due to their resemblance to bees and wasp. However Vespions stand on two slim legs. They do prefer to hover using their wings which make an audible buzzing sound. When their wings are in use they create a strong aroma that reacts to the brain as pleasant and soothing. This smell helps Vespions identify other members.

While they are commonly a honey gold and chocolate black coloring some Vespions are bright green, shimmering blue, spotted and even midnight black. The large eyes ranged from green, red, white and black. Their mouths appear as most races yet still retain mandibles in some form or another. Vespions are known to year hijjabs or hoods when visiting towns to avoid scaring people.

###   Passionate Warrior

Few have seen the Queen of the Vespion, but tales of her splendor travels from the mouth of everyone of her subject. They are fiercely loyal to her and insulting the Queen is insulting their race, thought not all follow this view.

Vespions do not often hold back their opinions. Since they share a form of telepathy with other Vespions they are very annoyed that they must express themselves verbally and physically to the other races. This has lead to misunderstanding and fights.

As Vespions live in the more 'untamed' portion of the Main Island they are very battle-hardened. Squads of Vespion are called *Thralls*, these are the Hive's protectors, ambassador and trainers. Every Vespion is trained in combat and healing. To live is to protect the hive and your thrall. Those who do not return to the Hive or their Thrall  in 18 days are Exiles, believed to have abandon Hive.

### Title of Threxx

Newly hatched Vespions stay with their biological parents until their wings develop, they are the First  Mother and Father. Afterward hatchlings train under the eyes of Thralls, these become the Second Mother and Father.

The bonds forged with others during training are an important milestone to Vespions, these bonds help decide members of thralls. Thrall members are First Threxx. Giving out the title of Threxx (meaning 'One I hold above others')  isn't a decision made lightly.

A Vespion will do anything to protect them, self-sacrifice, torture, and even start wars all in the name of keeping their Threxx safe. The Queen is known as the Mother Threxx, she is the center of all Vespion culture. A some non-Vespions have achieved the title of Threxx once a bond is created however these are the Second Threxx.

The Soul Threxx are those who are romantic with a Vespion. Very few, non-Vespions are gifted this title. Once together a Vespion is be able to develop telepathy talk to their Soul Threxx. The process is nonmagical and can be painful for the non-Vespion. They also do not have to accept this change. When a bond is broken with any Threxx a Vespion can become ill from heart ache. Those who breakaway are the Arjixx - the Killers of Hope.

*"Before I end this letter I should also tell you about our new...recruit. Always wanted to see a troll, but now that I'm sitting across from one I'm not sure anymore. She's terrifying. Her huge tusk look like they can skewer a pig! She's chugged 5 whole bottles of ale and isn't even dazed! This thing is a monster! I’m glad she’s on our team at least. You don’t wanna know what happened to the last guy she fought.”*

-Blaxx Vailie

### Troll Freaks

Troll are rumored to be unkillable. The cause of this myth is the troll’s innate regeneration ability. Small cuts or bruises vanish near instantly, while gashes and lost limbs can be healed within a day. This trait also allows them to thrive in any environment, and in turn many unique appearances.

A troll living in a grass covered rock area will have green fur and thick scales or plates seeming as stone. While another in a desert will be tan and proficient in sand burrowing. Although their look varies all trolls have a common body type.

Two tusk protrude from their monstrous face. They are often hunching or even walking on four long limbs, each equipped with a powerful claw. Some troll have large ears and tails, but not always.

### Promising Laborer
Whether stalking the dark forest, sludging through swamps or crawling through caves Trolls are often alone. If multiple trolls are seen together it is either for mating or they are hired by the same person or group.

Trolls don’t enjoy the company of others initially. As most races are smaller than them and thus considered weaker. But if offered rewards a troll will put aside their prejudice.

They make considerably intimidating guards and fighters for their employers. As trolls have a form of regeneration they are able to adapt to nearly any environment, civilization included. Troll enjoy the taste of meat and alcohol no matter what kind. Once payment is given trolls will be somewhat loyal to that person until paid by another.

Trolls are rarely seen as slaves as their regeneration makes them difficult to capture. Slavers will keep them in check by branding them since trolls can’t heal from fire. Until shown otherwise trolls become submissive and even more hunched over. Escaped troll slaves don’t last long as they are considered a threat to everyone who desperately kill the freed slave.

### Troll Names
Trolls typically do not have names since they are solitary creatures. They find the concept strange and silly. If a troll does have a name it is given to them by someone else. This usually happens to when a troll is near other people.

Troll slaves or hire trolls will be given a name mostly for convenience sake. After a time the troll begins to enjoy its name, still finding it silly however, like it’s a personal joke. The names can be anything from Elvish gods to a blacksmith tool to a an insult and the troll will never know the difference.
