The Krodanoi were the first species to gain the power of cognition. They arose from large plains predators of the felidae family. The polydactlyly and semi-upright stance of their ancestors allowed them to become tool-users. It was they that dominated the continent of Rurthekein Aman long before the rise of other sophonts. Their rapid evolution is popularly attributed to their favour with Argath, God of Strength and War. Thier forebears were chosen from amongst the beasts to be made worthy to create and use weapons and armour, for the glory of their divine patron.
The modern Krodanos adult stands on average 70" tall, although their slightly forward-leaning posture makes them appear shorter. Like their smilodon cousins, they have a small, stubby tail. They typically have a short covering of fur that is thicker about the neck and head, usually more pronounced in males. Fur colours range through light and dark tans and browns, to oranges and in some cases, even greens. Fur may be plain, striped, spotted or mixed. Family lines can very easily be traced by fur patterns. Their large canines are rarely used in combat against other kyne due to the risk of breakage against armour or tough clothing; most Krodanos cultures view such use of their fangs as disgusting. Female Krodanoi have six nipples on their abdomen, which are not pronounced except during pregnancy and nursing. Otherwise, Krodanoi express amongst the least gender dimorphism compared with other kyne species.

Originating from cave-dwelling hominids in the Northern continent of Gotenkein, the Rhuz developed tool use and language without supernatural aid. Spirits did later discover them and begin to teach various forms of magic. They quickly became the favourites of the spirits of discovery and change.
Rhuz are short, stocky people with a fully upright stance, the males partially furred, especially on the chest and back. Female Rhuz do not have facial hair but can grow rockin' sideburns (it is of cultural importance to state how rockin' their sideburns are). Rhuz are slower on foot than other kyne but possess considerable health and fortitude and can remain active for very long periods without tiring. They see in the dark reasonably well and are not impaired in sunlight, though they cannot see in utter darkness like the Myrdanar. The adult Rhuz masses about the same as a Krodanos but stands about a foot and a half shorter. Rhuz are cognitively remarakable, possessing an excellent ability to store and retrieve information accurately relative to other kyne.

Nobody knows the truth of where the kobolds came from. The High Dragon Auctol initially claimed to have created them from naught but dust, but after a group of Manirachis sold their secrets of ironworking to the Syldanar, Auctol disowned them and claimed not to be responsible after all. Manirachis are small, lizard-like people with plumes of feathers on their head and neck and sometimes their forearms.
Manirachis culture is divided between loyalists and the independents. The loyalists believe that if they can perform great enough deeds, the dragons will return to them and raise their nation to new heights of power. The independents say that the dragons have left for good and that it is best for them to attemp to be self-sufficient and prosper for themselves, not their absent masters.
An offshoot of Manirachis called the Grimbolds never had a dragon patron, but like their fellows have a long history of raiding Syldanar lands. Whereas most Manirachis raided for food, the Grimbolds enjoyed stealing Syldanar children to raise as their own. As a result, Grimbold society is full of adult Syldanar with Grimbold views on life and morality, aping Syldanar noble society in ways their original forebears find tremendously garish, flamboyant and offensive.

The Myrdanar are an offshoot of Syldanar that fled into the underground, to the uncharted Deeps to escape genocide after a failed civil war. Struggling to survive in the darkness, their leaders were approached by demons of darkness and offered a pact: To promise their entire peoples to Lyriasha, Goddess of Secrets and Shadows and self-proclaimed Goddess of Beauty (not recognised by other divine institutions). In a similar fashion to the original transformation of Krodanoi into Syldanar, the refugees were induced by spirits and demons of darkness to become a new species again: They named themselves the Myrdanar, after their champion that had fallen in the civil war, Vengeant Myrlith.
Changed again by spirits of the old world but in far less drastic ways, the Myrdanar are very similar in appearance to Syldanar. The unlearned might think they are still the same species, but Syldanar and Myrdanar cannot produce viable offspring. Myrdanar differ from their forebears in having increased femininity and altered colourations. Myrdanar skin can be white through grey and varying shades of blue and purple. Their hair is typically stark white or black, occasionally slightly bluish, with rare examples falling in between. The scleras of their eyes are utterly black, a trait shared with all other creatures that possess the mystical Deepsight. This allows supernaturally perfect vision in darkness, diminishing in areas of increased light. Myrdanar have difficulty seeing in bright light, especially sunlight. Their canines are slightly pronounced, thought a quirk in their transformation that harkens back to the Krodanoi. They almost universally consider themselves the most utterly gorgeous of all kyne, an opinion often shared by spirits with enough cognition to say so. Nonetheless, it is noted that they are more divergent from the image of the old gods than the Syldanar.

The Syldanar originated from Syl, an aggregate clan of Krodanoi formed from the exiled weak, deformed and crippled members of other clans. Despite the vast apparent differences between Syldanar and Krodanoi, there is plenty of historical evidence for the connection between the species. The transformation of Krodanoi into Syldanar was not a natural one. A vast collection of spirits of nature, harmony, change and renewal induced the clan to enact a magic ritual of a magnitude that has never been matched in known history. The ritual transformed every member of Clan Syl into wholly new beings, almost entirely unlike what they had been before. Additionally, every trace of disease or injury was wiped from them. It is said that their Krodanos forms had been cast off and they were clothed in wholly new flesh, in the very likeness of the gods.
While still felid genetically, the Syldanar phenotype has vastly more in common with extant hominids. The average male stands 68" tall and the average female 65". They are almost entirely unlike Krodanoi, having a more upright stance and very little body hair except on the head, where it can grow to any length. Facial hair is retained only in adult males, about the chin and lips and like their head hair can grow to great lengths, although it is typically kept short for practical or aesthetic reasons. Syldanar skin and hair colour follow similar ranges to Krodanoi, with patterns found only in head hair. A few feline traits remain in their long, mobile ears, a remarkable sense of agility that is only enhanced by their comparatively smaller bodies, and keen senses. They lack the Krodanos sense of smell and incredible sprinting ability and their finer structure makes them more fragile. This is commonly attributed to the spirits having used the weakest Krodanoi to create them. Adult Syldanar express sexual dimorphism similar to hominid kyne. Female Syldanar have two breasts high on the torso and Krodanoi typically find this incredibly strange.

Yet another product of gene-smithing, the Chirops are part cave-dwelling bat and part humanoid (it's not clear which species were used). The origin of the Chirops is shrouded in mystery. Rumour has it they were engineered as spies for the underground and when Rhayud fell, they escaped to breed true and form their own civilisation.
Chirops are small creatures, rarely standing taller than three feet and appearing shorter due to their usual hunched posture. They look like bats in clothes. Their wings allow them to jump and glide well, but their larger physique compared to common bats makes it difficult for them to achieve sustained flight. They have dextrous fingers on their wings but cannot grasp objects with them while in flight, so are typically seen wearing many-pocketed vests or belts. They have extremely keen hearing and adequate night-vision.
Chirops live in tight-knit colonies in the Deep, usually within a short distance of major trading routes or settlements of Myrdanar or Rhuz. It's not uncommon to see them acting as middlemen for merchants or neutral parties in negotiations, as their culture emphasises a detached, unbiassed political stance. It's well known, although they'll rarely admit it, that Chirops culture favours Lyriasha's aspect as Goddess of Secrets. The bats hear all, and might be willing to give up those secrets for a price.

Gnostra are small humanoids, standing on average three and a half feet tall at adulthood. They are furred, with strongly feline features including mobile ears and a tail. There are many varieties of modern Gnostra, often resembling the diverse breeds of cat. Though rumoured to be able to breed with housecats, this has never been proven and Gnostra tend to find the rumour offensive.
Gnostra are agile and due to their small stature, not particularly strong. They are known to be uncommonly clever albeit with a tendency toward skittishness and poor attention spans. They inherit the dwarvish predilection for scientific aptitude but lack the stoic dedication.
Gnostra generally live in small settlements governed by a 'tom', who has first breeding rights with the females of his choice. This is not exclusive, as Gnostra females are free to have multiple relationships. Gnostra find it difficult to form lasting romantic bonds and monogamy is uncommon.
Gnostra are naturally curious and intelligent and despite their lack of overarching government, their towns typically have good utilities and infrastructure. These utilities are often, however, in poor maintenance or dotted with experimental 'upgrades'. Gnostra gadgeteers have produced some of the world's most advanced and unreliable technologies, including primitive flying machines.
Magic is uncommon amongst Gnostra. Even with their keen minds, their difficulty with attention span makes arcane magic a chore. They tend to eschew the other paths of magic for being unscientific. Most young Gnostra are expected to explore the world. Curiosity is their most powerful drive and Deutero is full of many curious things.

Gwehyrlochs were a success in radical amalgamation of disparate forms, joining the forms of Syldanar with many traits of fish and other aquatic organisms. Contrary to popular myth, Gwehyrlochs have humanoid legs and not a fish tail, but are slow and weak on dry land. Gwehyrlochs exhibit a vast degree of variety in the shapes and placement of the fishy fins that adorn their bodies.
Gwehyrlochs are amphibious, preferring to live in coastal regions with good access to both land and water. They tend to compete with coastal land-dwellers for ideal living space, building their semi-flooded cities near river mouths and beaches.

Hivekin are the result of a different type of gene-smithing amalgamation. Instead of adding animal traits to a kyne, kyne traits were added to animals. In this case, termites. Hivekin workers and soldiers share the same utter selflessness and loyalty to their hive as their mundane cousins. Hivekin queens train in the arts of necromancy and are served by vast numbers of 'Hollow Hivekin', animated exoskeletons. Hivekin are rarely seen outside a hive, but a few 'abberants' do walk the surface world, something in their brain having gone funny and lost the obsession to hive loyalty. The cost of freedom is never being able to go home. Abberants are killed on sight by loyal Hivekin.

According to legend, the long-standing goal of the highest spirits and gods has been to restore their earthly vessels upon this world, in perfect likeness of how they once were. The Syldanar were an early attempt at capturing the perfect image, the Myrdanar came as an exaggerated idealisation of that image, and with the discovery of the Rhuz and their intellectual prowess came the final phase of the plan. The Rhuz quickly developed the magical science of gene-smithing, said to have been inspired and guided by Yazrath, God of Change and Lyriasha, under the commission of Juric, God of Thrones and highest of the gods. The Gene Wars that followed were a series of expeditions by Rhuz military forces to gather vast numbers of biological specimens; Namely Krodanoi, Syldanar and even their own kind. The Myrdanar were largely spared due to their isolation in distant parts of the underground.
Once the gene-smiths had perfected their technique, humans were created in the thousands, all to be empty vessels for the gods and their servants. When the grand ceremony of awakening was held, the humans did indeed awaken, yet did so with their own newborn souls, fresh and impossible to dislodge from their flesh by even the greatest supernatural force. The Rhuz lost their powers of gene-smithing and the human race fled to fertile surface lands to begin their civilisation.
Humans are considered the perfect representations of the image of the gods. Indeed, they look remarkably like ancient sculptures representing the gods that predated their creation by thousands of years.

Construct kyne retain their constitution score and use it to determine their hit points and Fortitude save as normal. They are subject to construct-specific diseases called 'corrosions' (which usually just do acid damage to living creatures) and they are subject to ability damage or drain from sources that are not limited to living creatures. They do not gain bonus hit points for their size. Constructs may be repaired by the Craft skill as follows:
Repair Construct: DC 20 Craft (mechanical)
Requirement: You must expend 10 gp of materials to perform this task.
When repairing a construct, you can restore hit points and damaged ability scores. Repairing a construct restores 1 hit point per level of the creature and up to 1 point of ability damage.

The Fabricants are an iteration of the Forgecursed created by human artificers in hopes of fulfilling the ancient divine mission and creating worthy shells for the divine. Unlike Forgecursed, Fabricants were never alive. The working parts of captured Forgecursed were dismantled and studied in order to develop a science that could produce living constructs without the need for a living sacrifice. When the first Fabricants awakened, they like their human creators awoke with a newborn soul. The project failed its intended purpose, but the Fabricants themselves were a viable 'species'. Fabricants found it remarkably intuitive to learn how to create more of their kind using appropriate tools and materials.
Fabricants look like approximations of humans, crafted out of fine metals, wood and ivory. The first few were decorated with precious metals and gems. Originally designed to be vessels of the gods, they naturally appear to resemble depictions of those gods. Despite having gendered appearance, Fabricants do not usually identify as their apparent gender. Most are content to be agender, and a few identify as the opposite of their initial form. Fortunately for them, their outer shells can be customised without doing any harm to their workings.

Once stripped of their powers, the former gene-smiths had no desire to abandon the art of creating life. Turning to necromantic means, a process was developed whereby a living organism could be slowly retooled into a creature of entirely synthetic materials. This process was incredibly painful and the resulting 'Forgecursed' retained that agony even after the process was complete.
A Forgecursed is often a terrible sight, a thing of wire and rods resembling a skinned version of its original species wrought in oily metals. Red stains often adorn the Forgecursed's body at the joints and amongst the muscles and the tubing in their torso. Forgecursed do not need blood, but their body continues to produce a small amount of something much like it from somewhere inside them. It's probably not actually blood. Somewhere deep underground, the necromantic forges remain in operation by elder Forgecursed smith-priests. The Forgecursed population is rising. It is terrifying.
