Tivaurians

Tivaurians are a sapient species originating from the planet Tivaur, a tidally locked world in the Xylos system. Their physiology is adapted to the extreme conditions of their homeworld, which features a perpetually sunlit side and a permanently dark side. Tivaurians possess a thick, leathery hide that offers protection from both the intense radiation on the sunlit side and the frigid temperatures on the dark side. They have large, multifaceted eyes that are highly sensitive to light, allowing them to navigate the twilight zone between the two hemispheres.

Socially, Tivaurians are organized into clans, each typically inhabiting a specific region of Tivaur. These clans have developed distinct cultures and traditions, often shaped by their proximity to either the sunlit or dark side. Their technology is advanced, with a strong emphasis on environmental adaptation and energy harvesting. Tivaurians are known for their stoicism and pragmatic approach to problem-solving. Their communication is a complex blend of vocalizations and subtle shifts in bioluminescent patterns on their skin. They are generally peaceful but have a strong sense of territoriality and a history of inter-clan conflicts, particularly over access to resources in the habitable twilight zone.
