Races of Atraland

During the Fourth Atralandian Civil War, all non-Wolevan groups, the Slozveks and Akzvanians, were killed or displaced to city-states in Kemonomica. The nation of Atraland is now 99.8% ethnically homogenous, with the .2% accounting for Blayredeshian nationals farming or living in Atraland.

Woleves:

Woleves are usually anywhere from 6’ to 6’ 8”, and usually reach a weight of 260 to 300 pounds. Woleves are extremely well built with wide shoulders and large barrel chests, and are heavily muscular due to a massive amount of testosterone found in their systems. They are natural built warriors capable of lifting large amounts and have amazing stamina, however the large amounts of testosterone more often then not makes them very violent and angry people. They aren’t very smart, and have an almost hive mind like dedication to whoever their leader is. They have no natural desire for things like democracy, as all attempts at it end with politicians beating the living sh*t out of eachother.
Woleves in the lowlands tend to have fair skin and brown hair, with the characteristic light red eyes. Woleves from the highlands have slightly darker skin and pitch black hair with far deeper red eyes and tend to be even bigger and even more violent. Woleves have a native language known as Wolevian that is usually seen as a secondary language to Atralandian.

Slozvechs

Slozvechs are a stark contrast to their Wolevian cousins, having smaller builds closer to a humans and a sharp intellect, with IQs tending to range around 130. Slozvechs are one of the original breeds of Atralandians that only survived by developing boats that allowed them to flee from mainland Atraland to live on the smaller island of Slozveck to the west. While isolated on the island they lost the need for warriors and instead formed early settlements and civilizations, however their earliest attempts to resettle on the mainland would meet with failure given the far stronger nature of the Woleves. In short the Woleves were to stupid to get onto Slozvek but too strong to be conquered and so the two races would evolve entirely separately despite being so close. The two would only come in contact when the Kazvit sandbars formed after an earthquake loosely creating a shallow water pathway between Slozvek and Atraland proper, however by this point neither side wanted contact as both races had formed kingdoms and had their own issues to deal with. Slozvechs of the past had lighter red eyes but over time they turned to darker blue, with only a very small portion keeping the genes for red eyes. Slozvechs speak Slozvechin as a secondary language, without Atralandian being the main one, however on the island of Slozvek Slozvechin is far more common.

Akzvanians

Akzvanians are a very small minority group found in the deep mountains of Atraland to the far north. Very little contact occurs with them and they operate in small hunter gathering bands that rarely leave the mountain, usually retreating as soon as they see civilization. Akzvanians have their own language and culture and are mostly aware of the country of Atraland, but don’t care for politics or nations as a whole. Akzvanians speak their native language of Akzyz that is completely unique to them, and only a few have ever bothered to learn Atralandian. Every once in a few decades, an Akzvanian will choose to leave the mountains and join society, but these instances are far and few between. Akzvanians tend to stand around 5’ 8” and weigh around 240 pounds, being well built. Intelligence is unknown due to the limited number, but they seem to be fully capable of rational and conscious thought and generally seem smarter then Woleves.
