Warmaid

A widely distributed collection of Human tribes that share a common ancestry in the ancient Amazon tribe of Themiscyra. As the ancestor, so to the descendants; the Warmaids are all matriarchal societies marked by relatively small, effeminate men who tend to retain a boyish "softness" throughout their lives, and by larger, powerfully-built women who dominate most of the society's institutions. The women of these cultures are equal to the men of most other Human Subraces in terms of brute strength and endurance, though they are often lacking in the grace associated with women of those tribes. Instead, that quality manifests in the men.
The Warmaids were first dispersed nearly two thousand years ago when Themiscyra was overwhelmed by the onslaught of a rising Demon Lord in the region, and while he has since perished and the land returned to the Warmaids' control, the intervening centuries gave rise to several distinct peoples, often resulting from intermarriage with surrounding populations and the subsequent inclusion of the cultural practices and traditions of these outsiders. Most are known for their cultural preference for a particular weapon, which they treat as a ceremonial tool and a representation of themselves, and in some extreme cases as a "lover," elaborately personalizing their chosen weapon.
