Vaecaesini

Name:  
Singular:  Vaecaesin 
Plural:  Vaecaesini
Notes:  A dark skinned, sturdier off-shoot of the Elf species, Vaecaesini evolved from Elf colonies established on a drier, hotter world.  Though a number have integrated into Elven society and culture, the Vaecaesini themselves are known for their own take on things which evolved alongside with their needs.
Unlike the grand cities woven into forests used by the Elves, most Vaecaesini prefer more simple dwellings made in open fields of earth and straw.  They build these simple huts as they live a nomadic lifestyle, following their herds as they move to new grazing ground.  This is not to mean they are ignorant or repulsed by technology, as they make regular use of it in their everyday lives;  also, unlike their Elven cousins, Vaecaesini are not as concerned about having technologies that blend in to the environment.
There are settled Vaecaesini as well, though these do not make the majority of the species.  The massive structures they craft, seemingly even grow, out of the raw earth are just as, in their own way, massive, intricate, and beautiful as the forest structures of Elves.  These settled Vaecaesini also make extensive use of subterranean construction to counter the heat of the worlds they prefer.
When their Elven cousins decided to membership in the Zodiac Empire, those settled Vaecaesini in their territory also signed on to membership as well.
