Lausians
Lausians are a fictional ethnic group originating from the fantasy world of Eldoria. They are primarily known for their deep connection to the natural world and their distinct cultural practices. Physically, Lausians are often depicted as having slightly elongated ears and a naturally occurring subtle shimmer to their skin, attributed to their ancestral lineage. Their society is largely agrarian and communal, with a strong emphasis on respecting the cycles of nature and living in harmony with their environment. Storytelling and oral traditions are central to Lausian culture, preserving their history, beliefs, and folklore. They are often portrayed as peace-loving and possess a natural talent for herbalism and animal husbandry. While generally isolationist, Lausians have been known to engage in trade, particularly for goods that cannot be produced within their own territories. Their spiritual beliefs are animistic, revering spirits residing in forests, rivers, and mountains. Lausians typically live in small, self-sufficient villages nestled within dense forests or fertile valleys. Their architecture often incorporates natural materials, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Their history within Eldoria is marked by periods of both peaceful coexistence and occasional conflict with other races, often stemming from misunderstandings of their ways or encroachment on their ancestral lands.
