Yuvaari (Homo gebansis thazvaarensis)

Alias: None
Origin: Island east of Thazvaar

The Yuvaaris are a distinct island population east of Thazvaar, fiercely rejecting any association with the Thazvaaris despite similar appearance and dress. Renowned as Geba’s premier unarmed fighters, their exceptional strength, speed, and martial skill are unmatched. They explored Manalheim and Western Ngorrhal prior to advanced sailing, and their warrior ethos is cemented by feats such as defeating Greater Smilohounds bare-handed in relay combat.

Terrain

Coastal and forested island east of Thazvaar. Absent from mainland Thazvaar and other biomes.

Lifespan

90–130 years; maturity around 20 years.

Height & Build

1.5–1.8 m tall, under 80 kg; lean, highly fit, optimized for bare-handed pursuit and combat. Juveniles proportionally smaller.

Uses

• Ecological Role: Control large fauna through unarmed hunting, maintaining island ecosystem balance.
• Cultural Significance: Reject Thazvaari identity; celebrated for martial prowess and independence; legendary combat feats.
• Guidance: Respect their autonomy; avoid Thazvaari references; observe hunts from a distance and do not interfere.

Notes

Documented in the Comprehensive Field Codex during the Era of Absolute Expansion (~3,000 YBM), Yuvaaris remain extant, preserving a unique culture of weaponless hunting. Their bare-handed victories over Greater Smilohounds exemplify their unparalleled strength, speed, and independence.
