![]() ![]() Every high priest of the Beady Eye for the last century has been memorialized in this way, and the new priest’s ritual involves a sacred cleansing witnesses by every one of the statues. There are also sapphire statues of the most famous whelps located throughout their mountains, having their corpses being taken up top and positioned such as to become personified memorials for heroic deeds done. Water is often given as religious tribute to The Beady Eye, a Kami they believe to live within the clouds and exchange water and other forms of drink with in order to bestow them with food and shelter. Water provides some defense and bulwark against these clouds, as when the clouds get splashed with water or absorb it from the surface through the typical cycle of rainfall they react in all ways like ordinary clouds until they build up and expel the water again. It makes up the healthiest and tastiest part of their diet (though ‘healthy’ is debatable, probably more akin to a sugary snack). They float too far overhead to actually be interacted with, spare leaving some rocks at the very top of the tallest mountains the whelps make their homes, but they provide a replenishing supply of Sapphires for the critters. When these clouds graze the tops of the very tall mountains, they seem to convert anything they touch into blue rocks. ![]() The clouds in this region and the climate are bizarre indeed, a deep blue even when unloaded with water which often causes them to meld into the sky itself. They also need to be taught a language that resembles one most Northerners use, as their isolation has rendered their dialect utterly an alien language. It is rumored they can even sniff out magic, and several have been brought back to the Hydran capital to test this notion. Akin to having infrared vision, but for the nostrils. Naturally blind like wingless bats, they have superb hearing and smell, including the ability to smell things on a spectrum normal humanoids absolutely cannot. How their biology lets them digest such minerals is a mystery, but it means they almost never need to come to the surface, only truly doing such to mine the Sapphires off of the top of their mountains. Primarily living in the mountains, in valleys, and underground where natural predators cannot get to them and subsisting on a diet of coal, sapphires, and general shinies. ![]() Weak little creatives that mostly keep to themselves and out of sight, but damn are they plentiful. The natives of this land are whelps that barely come up to two feet tall, topping out at three. To that end, the Amoorites have incredibly strict laws of hospitality and the proper treatment of outsiders. Outsiders often see the Amoorites as renowned trickers, hunters, and weavers, while the Amoorites themselves look upon the humanoids that visit their lands with a mixture of curiosity and wonder. ![]() Surprisingly friendly for a species of sentient spiders, the Amoorite clans often trade their silk, and fruits for livestock and manufactured goods from nearby Twa tribes. Preferring foods high in sugars and proteins, humans are very rarely on the menu for the average Amoorite clan, travellers records indicate humans are too bony and not nearly fat enough. The Amoorites feed mainly on bees, termites, jungle fowl, and the various fruits that dot the canopy. As a highly social and community-focused race, the Amoorites live under a series of giant web tents that serve as a means to trap prey and provide a waterproof shelter. The Amorites resemble 3 to 4-foot tall spiders colored with bright green and red carapaces. While the Amoorites may have human intelligence they are in fact 3ft tall sentient social spiders. The native residents of Aracna are known as Amorites. ![]()
