Hyur

The Hyur are a race of humanoid elves. They are mostly found around cities and villages. They actually maintain many of the towns that the Shamans travel through. The best Role for the Hyur is actually the Mimic role because Hyur don't stand out as much as other Okuni. However they can play any other role equally well.

Appearance
The Hyur are about the same height as humans, albeit slightly taller. They have long pointy elven ears. Most of their other features are similar to humans.

Lifespan
The average lifespan of a Hyur lasts exactly 1000 years to the minute from when they were born. This predetermined knowledge of life and death gives the Hyur an understanding of how precious their time is. A Hyur becomes a full adult at age 200.

Reproduction
A Hyur pregnancy lasts a long 10 years. They are also limited to only 1-4 daughters per pregnancy. They do however find it easy to get pregnant.

Religion and Customs
Being the most human-like species, the Hyur share nearly identical views when it comes to politics, religion, and society. Children go to school from age 10 all the way to adulthood. Due to their long lifespans, they tend to take their time with things and seek to get the most enjoyment out of anything they do.

The Hyur belong to one of two factions, each worshiping a certain goddess. Legend said that Cathayuea created the heavens while her older sister Uthume created the earth. It is well known that the Hyur Queen is only in tune with one of the Goddesses throughout her reign, but that knowledge is a well kept royal secret as to not cause unrest to the opposing faction. Most Hyur respect and adore their queen, especially for her titanic sized tummy. The current ruler is Queen Libra Ophanalis, the 3rd generation of the Ophanalis Clan.
