Imp

== Summary ==
The Imp, (plural: Imps, adjective: Impid), are called many names, such as “foul-blood”, “the corrupted”, “tiefling”, are a race of humanoids who reside in the world of Abexilas. They are descendents of graceful and immortal beings who were created to serve the Gods in their realm, but in their pursuit to become Gods themselves, they were banished to the mortal realm, to be forced to live out their immortal lives with such an appearance. The Impids now live in a diaspora around Abexilas, but seek to regain their lost glory by rising as mortals.
Impid’s have a very spiritual connection to fire, as when they were expelled they were sent to the Goddess of Fire’s place to be thrown into her cauldron of eternal flame. When they arrived on the mortal realm, they awoke in a bed of fire and blood. This fire can burn eternally, and can be transferred from place-to-place, the Impids have brought it from where they arrived, to where they are now in Wadiwaya. Impid’s now worship this Goddess of Fire by doing ceremonial dances and festivals to this Goddess, in hope that she will open her gateway of fire again and let them back into the ascended realm.
Every Impid community has a single Impid blessed by the fire Goddess by giving them the eternal flame and is required to transfer this flame to a brazier where they can build their temple. Impids are then able to wield magic through this flame, this can be through healing, destruction, or recreation. If someone wants to change form into an Impid, they can do so, by being engulfed in these flames, it sears their flesh off and a new flesh is born in the form of an Impid.
The Impids often develop matriarchal systems, as the women are much taller than the men, and are free to settle in many areas, their banishment has given them skin more suited to hotter temperatures, while their interior runs hotter than regular humanoids, giving them the freedom to settle in cold, and hot climates. They however, do have a personal preference towards volcanic areas and even building into the volcanic mountains themselves.
The Impid’s ageless life, fire breath, and graceful nature are attributes unique to them compared to other humanoids, due to having these traits pre-banishment. The Impids aren’t heavily populated due to their ageless life, though that is only limited culturally, but their fire breath and graceful nature has also caused them to adopt fire dancing. This is also used aggressively as many Lords raise their Impid subjects as professional soldiers, to use when burning crops or towns.
== Appearance ==
Impids are humanoid creatures, but have obtained several mutations post-exile, their most notable features include vibrant and colourful skin, there are colours that are most common with their accompanying tints and shades such as purple, red,  orange, and blue, there is no real limit to what colour an Impid, though it has been observed that it is based on their family lineage of work, for example, an Impid may have green skin due to having a druid or farmer in their lineage. 
Their other notable features include pointy ears, which can protrude in any direction. Two horns on the sides, or on the forehead, which can most commonly be completely random in shape, but they both stay consistent with each other. There are instances of young druids with developing horns getting antler-shaped horns, or an evil-natured Impid getted jagged spiky horns.
The men are shorter than the woman on average, with the average male standing at 5’0” to 5’6”, while the average female stands at around 5’8” - 6’5” this has caused many Impid colonies to develop matriarchal systems.
Other notable things are that Impids also cannot grow facial hair, and there cannot be half-Impids, offspring are either Impid or not Impid.

=== Aswara Prana ===
==== Foundation ====
Aswara Prana was founded by Aswara the Great, when he led the diaspora of Impids after the exile, to the glorious lands of Wadiwaya. He started as a lone child who was visited by the Goddess of Fire then commanded him to preach to the cities of Abexilas and deliver his people from persecution to this blessed land. He approached the Ayuyuwana who offered to build a sanctuary for his people if he built a castle on the river where the open ocean has access to the sacred lake.
