Nolghas

Nolghas are a sentient, predatory race with ties to both deer and humans. They dwell primarily on the Northern Forests of the West Continent.
==Biology==
Nolghas are humanoid, with features reminiscent of deer. They are covered head to toe in thin fur, with thicker concentrations around the head and chest. They stand on two legs but have hooves for feet. Their arms are long and muscular, with 4-fingered hands evolved to tear apart flesh. Their heads resemble that of a deer, but with the jutting fangs of a carnivore. Their most distinctive feature are their antlers that grow up to 35 inches in males, and 20 inches in females. Nolghas have an average height of 7 feet without factoring in their antlers. 
These creatures reproduce similarly to other mammals. They reach maturity at 25 years of age and reach ages up to 200 years old. A Nolghirn's antlers grow from a small stump from when they are born, and stop growing once a Nolghirn reaches maturity.
Nolghas are omnivores, but their teeth and hands indicate that they are primarily carnivorous. They are avid predators and can keep up with all but the swiftest of prey. Their stamina and determination allow them to hunt prey for long periods of time, which ensures their prey rarely escapes.
== Culture ==
Nolghas have developed their own culture by unifying under their religious beliefs. In this culture, they believe in strength, both within individuals and communities. They revere elemental spirits, and work to preserve their environment as much as they can. They have formed their own nation on the Northern Coast of the Western Continent that has Stone Age technology. They often wear the skulls of their prey for both ceremonial and practical purposes.
Nolghas remain wary of other sentient species. They respect strength, so those they see as lesser than them become nothing more than prey. However, they are loyal allies when creatures earn their respect.
While many Nolghas are civilized and live in communities, it is believed that some Nolghas still roam the wild as savages. These wild Nolghas wander all throughout the Northern coast and are fierce predators, with no regard of what their prey is, as long as they can consume it.
In Nolghas culture, savage Nolghas are referred to as "Wendigos" derived from "Endigo", which means savage. 
== Language ==
The primary language of civilized Nolghas is Nolghashin. It has a phonetic range similar to that of other sentient mammals, specifically humans. It does not appear to have been influenced by the languages around their nation.
Wild Nolghas have no discernible language. They communicate with either body language or low growls.
== Population ==
The Nolghas are solely located all along the Northern Coast of the West Continent. They favour forested regions, or regions with plenty of game.
Nolghas civilization is concentrated in the province of Spearcliff, a forested area with access to the Sea of Fangs
