Huyyati

A tall and fierce-looking people. Their skin ranged from dark grey to black, and they retained the claws and strange thumbs of their ancestors, but not their horns and tails. While still magically potent, they weren’t as powerful as the Sanrhyyk they descended from. But they were more fertile, and quickly filled the islands of Kai-Hu. They had pronounced canines and semi-droopy ears. When the Mage’s Tower District of Jurnbarro was teleported away from the city, not enough time was spent setting coordinates, and they entered The Void, the barrier dimension between Earth and Iuldar. Returning to Iuldar, their location was randomized, and they landed in central Hagrenna, the western island of Kai-Hu. At the time, Kai-Hu was only inhabited by the Tyzari and Liishruti. At first the Sanrhyyk stayed out of the way, their numbers too small to do anything. But after evolving into the Huyyati, their numbers began to increase rapidly, and they eventually went to war with the other races, killing off the Tyzari and causing the Liishruti to largely retreat to the outer islands. Much later in history, Kelvian refugees from the rule of Samet-Hada landed by chance on Kai-Hu. These refugees, consisting mostly of Heylim, Wood Elves, and some captured Orcs, started claiming land on Kai-Hu to settle. This led to many wars with the native Huyyati, and eventually caused the Huyyati to be driven away from Kai-Hu altogether by the Kelvians’ descendant races, The Alchayati, Shadow and Dusk Elves, and Moogram, but not before leaving a small parting gift in the form of a mass curse on the inhabitants of Kai-hu. They wandered the seas until they came upon the even more secluded island of Tel-Riele, where they dropped from knowledge and eventually gave rise to the Rakshasas.
