Humaars

The Humaars are one of the main three species of Darius.

About
Humaars are the cat like humanoids that occupy the Blacklands of Northern Darius. They have black stripes under their eyes, and human-like faces. They have a cat like nose and sharp fangs that hang out their mouths. They have longs claws at the tip of his hands growing from his fingernails. They can run more than 50 MPH. They are believed to have lived on the isle of Talen in the olden days, until they sailed to the Blacklands approximately 1500 years ago. It is said by the elders that the Isle of Talen was a magical place, filled with spells and songs. Most of these stories are not believed, though, for modern day Humaars do not have the gift of magic. They live in small hut like homes filled with Dragonsheths. Dragonsheths are ancient curved swords, with no hilt but a small wooden wrapping, that cover the blade as well. They are held by the tip, and are used to cut and slice through the small holes in the covering which allow the blade to poke through. They are all omnivores, most commonly eating the silver moondeer, but occasionally eating Shaferberries. They are led by the winners of a four-year fighting tournament known as Carrious. Its current leader is Brenden of the city Noor. They are taught by the leader at a massive meeting held in the center of the Blacklands capitol, Ora every year. It takes three days and nights. They are known to only travel by foot.

Beliefs
The humaars believe that Darius was formed 30,000 by their cat goddess, Quazoctyol. At first, the world was purely ocean, then, Quazoctyol created the great isle of Talen, where two species were made. The sentient Humaars, and their companions, the Gleers. Both were given gifts, the humaars magic, and the Gleers speed. But, it was about 1000 years after the formation of Earth that Quazoctyol asked the Humaars to form two new species, one intelligent, and one strong. And so, on a far away piece of land recently created by Quazoctyol, the Humaars used their magic to create the Humans, and the Haggus. They used so much of their power in fact, that their magic faded away. The humaars  returned to Talen 100 years later, to resume their regular lives. The humaars, without their great gift, began to develop other abilities, like speed and intellect. Thousands and thousands of years later, the humans came to their island, and attacked. The humaars fled their mystic island, moving on to the area in Quazoctyols second land known as the blacklands.

Language
Humaars speak both English, and their own language, called Berdid by themselves, and the Humaar tongue by humans.
