In the World of Svae

I DID THIS FOR YOU PYON _{and myself as I've only been meaning to do this for ages.}

I'll come back and do a description later, I have to go get ready for a fancy dinner.

Edit: Descriptions added! Keep in mind that this is a very general/overall description. Variations of course happen. I'm also trying not to create a monster of a text wall l'D;;

Edit 2: Spelling errors fixed (lol) and updating some info. Also updated ref for the Garecans. Just moved the toe down a little and got rid of the tail as it seemed a bit silly

Having close bonds within their communities is very important to them. Outsiders are generally not welcome unless they have earned their trust. Their communities are reclusive, even more so in current days as they have been having small scale wars against Garecas.

Quaare: In legend are made out of stone and tree sap.

Locations: They live where "Keiffer" trees grow. Quaares being originally born out of stone, the sap (which contains magical properties) allows they to live and breath like a normal being. If a Quaare wishes to live away from a Keiffer tree, they must still have the presence of the sap somewhere near them. Popular methods are carrying a small vial with them, commonly a necklace.

Powers: Quaares have a similar style of magic compared to spirits, in that they can shape shift. Unlike spirits, Quaares can only shape sift into one other form. (see second form above). In enhances them physically and their magical ability. Quaare magic is focused on earth, stone, and metal. (variations can happen).
