The Vinus Specie

Introducing the Deopk native specie

The Vinus are the only race with advanced intelligence in Deopk. Vinus appearance is very similar to humans, but their muscle tissue is slightly denser, giving them a wiry strength. Many of their more amphibian features are concealed, however one unique characteristic is the hyoid bone in their throats, which allows them to inflate their throats and produce vocal sounds outside of the human range.





Vinus are deeply religious, believing that they have souls separate from their bodies. They see death as a departure from the body, and they also state that a person's body and soul form a Whole. When the soul is traumatized or otherwise disrupted, or the body is ill or injured, a person is no longer Whole. They also believe that their body can be directed as a separate entity from themselves. The Vinus religion, Ziotism, is also polytheistic, with the vinus having multiple gods whom they pray to in varying situations. This religion included at least three gods: Amonkira, Lord of Hunters; Arashu, Goddess of Motherhood and Protection; and Kalahira, Goddess of Oceans and Afterlife.
Many of the older traditions of the vinus have begun to die out. The younger generations no longer believe the old ways of their ancestors can help them now, with so many other ways to interpret one's place in the universe.

Great information! Those Vinus look "interesting"
