Ferrous

Ferrous were genetically altered to have tougher skin and bones, a side-effect being their bones sometimes jut out of their skin, especially at joints like shoulders, elbows, and so on. They were created to be tougher and more aggressive, but they were also inherently more liberal and accepting of new ideas. Sometime in their past they became tired of being feared and followed a great leader, Tevya, into becoming a peaceful society, ostracizing aggressive Ferrous for making them seem like the monsters the other races often think they are.

Pre-Tevya
The Ferrous started out as a very warlike culture. Tribes and farming conglomerates of Ferrous fought ferociously against one another and conducted savage raids on the nation-states of the demon people, the Kitsune (called the Ayft by the Ferrous which means devils). Slowly the conglomerates merged to form empires called paim, better able to fight their enemies to the East. The first paim was called Ubrgit.

The Reforged Movement
The teachings of the Ferrous named Tevya (born c. 2752 NC died c. 2833 NC) completely transformed the entire race of Ferrous without bothering with nationality or previous creed. Some Ferrous historians speculate that the invention of the printing press was a key to its widespread adoption throughout the Barren Subcontinent. The Ferrous Reforged themselves, turning from their warlike ways and adopted pacifism as their way of life. In contemporary society Reforged Witnesses try and spread the movement to those that don't believe. Their symbol is a milk pot, which harkens to the temperance teachings of Tevya, which the Witnesses are great proponents of. Snack Patrol: Don't shoot them they have food.
