Nix



Nix is one Terra's seven continents. Along with Aquam, Nix is arguably the most mysterious continent on Terra. Although Anurian explorers have heavily surveyed the continent's eastern and western coast, what lies at the heart, and the north, of Nix is largely a mystery. Although joint Anurian-Montiac expeditions, headed by Vel Agorix, did successfully journey deep into eastern parts of the continent, after Agorix's disappearance in ME 223 the Empire ceased further exploration. Since then, ill-equipped Anurian explorers have been unable to safely travel into the uncharted heart of the continent.

Anur
The Anurians are a species of Frog-folk inhabiting the Agorix Isles off the southern coast of Nix.

Of all Nix's species, the Anurians are by far the most advanced. Having mastered sailing in the early years of the Montiac Era, the Anurians have sailed and charted much of the planet, trading and selling their cartographics to numerous nations. The Anurians have also enjoyed close relations withe the Empire, with Vuvos Nabosqo making first contact in ME 217. The Frog-folk have since become the Empire's largest trading partner and posess a small colony on Calast, given by the Empire in exchange for cartographics and other info about Terra's distant lands.

Chelydra
The Chelydrans are a species of shelled Lizard-folk inhabiting the many lakes and marshes of Nix. The Chelydrans enslaved the Corvans for an unknown amount of time, though the Bird-folk would eventually break free their servitude. Aside from this, nothing is known about Chelydran culture, society, or history.

Corvans
The Corvans are a species of Bird-folk inhabiting the northern regions of Nix. Although weak on the ground, all are capable of flight from birth and use this as their primary form of movement and combat. Generations ago, the Corvans were a slave species of the Chelydra. One Corvan, simply known as the Hawpway by his kinsfolk, was said to have united his people to rebel against the Chelydra, thus ending their enslavement. Hawpway has since become a god-like figure to Corvans. Since breaking free, the two species have been fighting for centuries in unrelated battles, usually between no more than a few communities.

Latra
The Latra are a species of Dog-folk. Living in semi-literate tribes, the Latra have been seen wearing basic armor and utilizing more complex tools than Nix's other species. However, all known encounters with the Latra have been hostile. With no proper communication or observation of any kind taking place, it's not known if the Latra posses any further intelligence than they show. It is unknown to what extent they are related to the Canisians.

The exact range of the Latra isn't known. Though they've only been directly encountered on the continents eastern coast, some Corvans have told stories of bandits that closely resemble the Latra, implying that Latran communities may extend all the way to the continents frigid north.

Other
Reports from Anurians suggest that there may be other undocumented species on Nix. These include a large, horned species, as well as Lizard-folk who inhabit Nix's deserts. This makes it likely that Nix has other cultures and species that have yet to be discovered.
