Amazonian

The Amazonians are an ancient race of women hailing from the Aegean who are known for two things: their primitive but brutal culture, and their absolute distrust and hatred for men. The Amazonian women are fierce warriors who follow a Spartan lifestyle even into modern times.
== Origin Story: ==
The Amazonians can be dated back to the ancient Hittites, when a powerful king among their empire was given a series of daughters after a promise from heaven. The daughters grew into powerful warriors, but in time were expelled by the jealous males of the Hittite kingdom. The women and their followers took up the life of nomads, journeying up into Anatolia and from there down into the Aegean where they encountered the Greeks. These were the first tribes of true Amazonians.
== Facts: ==
-The Amazonians trace their history back to the lands of the Aegean, and before that far out into the Russian steppes and beyond. They are an ancient people who have maintained their identity and people by keeping themselves secluded from the cultures around them and by following the difficult traditions of their foremothers.
-The Amazonians of today are scattered abroad, and yet still united. There are large communities of them in far away, out of reach locales such as the jungles of South America, Northern Africa, the American West and Canada, and of course the ancient islands of Greece.
-Amazonians live in a matriarchical society where the eldest women lead and the young women serve as soldiers and workers to keep the Tribe afloat.
-Amazonians have a long history of distrusting men. After so many centuries of fear towards men, Amazonians find it very difficult to work with men, certainly to trust or confide in them.
-Amazonians reproduce by sending out young women, either singly or in groups, to locate suitable candidates. These 'candidates' are either seduced, or simply kidnapped by the Amazonians. Once the women are pregnant, the men are returned (hopefully) and are never seen or contact again. Their children will grow up with ever having known their fathers.
-Amazonians do not keep their male offspring. They either put them up for adoption, or leave them to die in the wilderness. Because of this, the Amazonians are held in disfavor by the Nazoreans who cannot respect their lack of value for human life.
== Powers: ==
-Amazonians are human, but they benefit from several supernatural attributes gifted to them by their ancient Hittite ancestors. They are far stronger and faster than normal humans, and they heal quickly. They also possess powerful healing abilities as well.
-Amazonians are also trained since birth to be warriors, so they will be quite capable fighters and proficient with several types of weapons as well.
