• How many races live in this coun­try?
  Chameleon­folk, Hiss­folk & Grungs

• What are the cul­ture and tra­di­tions?
  Chameleon­folk believe in gen­derneu­tral­i­ty. They live by the stan­dard that every­one of their race needs to be able to per­form in all gen­der roles. Lit­tle chameleon­folk are being taught both hunt­ing and gath­er­ing, and all the oth­er tasks that life requires. They use inclu­sive gen­derneu­tral lan­guage.

  This to huge despice of the Grungs, who believe in their own moral supe­ri­or­i­ty and view the Chameleon­folk as woke. They believe that their god Crater has giv­en them a divine mis­sion. This mis­sion is sim­ple: all oth­er races must sub­mit to the faith of the Grungs.

  The rea­son why Chameleon­folk and Grungs don’t kill each oth­er imme­di­ate­ly, is because they are both scared of the Hiss­folk. Hiss­folk wor­ship the god­dess Medusa. Their poi­son is very ven­omous, which is why the Grungs and Chameleon­folk stay out of their way.

  Tra­di­tions are:

  • Chameleon­folk: Wed­dings are being held com­plete­ly gen­derneu­tral, for exam­ple both part­ners walk togeth­er down the aisle. They have gen­derneu­tral activ­i­ties for kids (their favourite one is rock­climb­ing), and to respect their God Sage they teach each oth­er gen­derneu­tral lan­guage and cor­rect each oth­er in a very kind and gen­tle way if some­one uses the wrong word.
  • Grungs: The Grungs pray to their God Crater, and make it a habit to con­vice oth­er races of their beliefs.
  • Hiss­folk: The faith in Medusa is strong enough for the Hiss­folk to not need to per­form any rit­u­als or tra­di­tions.

• What is the tra­di­tion­al dress­code?
  • Chameleon­folk weir armour & robes tied with a rope, blaz­er and dress, or but­ton-up shirts and harem pants.
  • Grungs weir cloth­ing from the age of the chival­ry, with mitres on their heads.
  • Hiss­folk wear most­ly black and gold cloth­ing, with masks and hoods around their faces to remain anony­mous, quite like assas­sin clothes.

• How many cities are there?
  Every race has their own main ter­ri­to­ry, but trav­el a lot through the rain­for­est. There are 3 races.

• What reli­gion pre­vails in the coun­try
  • Chameleon­folk praise gen­derneu­tral­i­ty. Their God Sage, which means wis­dom, is pan­gen­der, mean­ing they can change in all the gen­ders there are. Chameleon­folk believe that their God is wise enough to rise above gen­der and their stan­dards.
  • What makes the Grungs par­tic­u­lar­ly dis­tinc­tive is their reli­gious con­vic­tion. They believe that their god, often depict­ed through sym­bols such as a sacred cross with round­ed ends, has giv­en them a divine mis­sion. This mis­sion is sim­ple: all oth­er races must sub­mit to the faith of the Grungs.
  • Hiss­folk often wor­ship the god­dess Medusa, whom they revere as their sacred pro­tec­tor and source of pow­er. 

• What is the sym­bol of the coun­try?
  • The chameleon­folk have a stat­ue of a gen­derneu­tral sym­bol, made with mate­ri­als from nature.
  • The grungs have their own church­es and stat­ues of their God and the cross from their belief.
  • Hiss­folk make stat­ues of the peo­ple they kill, so they have stone stat­ues of their own hunt­ing tro­phies scream­ing for mer­cy.

• How do crea­tures trav­el in this coun­try?
  • Chameleon­folk trav­el by foot, climb­ing and by grip­ping anchor points with their tails.
  • Grungs hop around on the ground, rarely using any vehi­cles.
  • Hiss­folk: The snake-like vari­ant slith­er and swim, and the human-like vari­ant most­ly walk.
