Sanrhyyk

A tall, fierce, and unnatural race. The first Sanrhyyk were shaped and molded by the powerful sorcerer Khessinsel Roa-Hida to use as weapons in the Hashuran Schism. After the dispersal, they followed Roa-Hida to the north. They were pale and thin, but strong. In Sanrhyyk culture, tattoos were symbolic of a person’s growth, and they covered certain parts of the body, including the face, arms, and left pectoral. Both male and female Sanrhyyk had horns, as well as hands with thumbs on both sides of the hand. They had long, whip-like tails which they could use as weapons. Their feet were digitigrade. Roa-Hida established the nation of Reggis-Sanrhyykan with his new people. From the capital he built at Jurnbarro, he took on the name Poso-Rannari and ruled the Sanrhyyk as their immortal emperor for close to two thousand years. Part of the reason he was able to control the Sanrhyyk was because of an alteration he made to their brains, specifically the addition of an “override switch” which allowed him to bend the Sanrhyyk’s moral code how he saw fit. And he saw fit to make them a bunch of self-righteous assholes. Unfortunately for Poso-Rannari, he was eventually defeated during the Fifth Elf-Sanrhyyk War and his nation crumbled around him. The only Sanrhyyk to escape (other than a handful of powerful immortals, which did not include Rannari) were the inhabitants of the Mage’s Tower district of Jurnbarro, who were teleported out when the going got bad. They didn’t have time to set coordinates, and teleported at random to the island-continent of Kai-Hu, where they eventually evolved into the Huyyati.
