Sylbari

Sylbari are a race of genderless humanoids that appear to be an almost perfect human female. Most Sylbari are taller and stronger than the average human male, though not by much. Sylbari are born in the Chiefdom of Uraka, and their reproduction is mystery. Speculation links it to a mysterious artifact located in Uraka-Kai, a spire of old-world technology in the center of a crater lake known as the Mother Lake.
Sylbari die quickly when taken captive as their overall health seems directly linked to their mental well being. Aside from that glaring weakness, they appear to be healthier than humans in what comes to imunity and enduring the elements.
==== Morphology ====
Sylbari average height places most of them in between 195cm and 215cm. A few rare Sylbari reach up to 230cm. Sylbari appear as human females with slightly broader shoulders proportionally to their height, though a sharp eye is require to spot it in a casual glance. Most of them has equally broader hips, and slightly longer legs in proportion to torso. They are often stronger than the average human, even a male human, but compared to the invididual variation, the difference tends to not be significative. A strong human will often be stronger than a average Sylbari. Their skintone and hair color tend to vary, however most Sylbari are born with dark caramel skin as part of their adapation to the arid climate of Uraka. Light brown and blond hair being the most common colors. No known Sylbari has ever been registered to have white hair like a celestial, or even naturally ocurring redhair. Pale ones are increasingly hair. All Sylbari have Gold colored eyes of varying hues.
Sylbaris size means they consume more calories than the average human, and their lifespan in Uraka is observed to be around 60 years, varying greatly based on died and lifestyle. Their maturity cycle is very different from humans. Rather than abrupt changes during puberty, as humans do, maturing sexually in the ages between 15 and 20, Sylbari have a slower maturity rate, and a 30 year old Sylbari will often appear to be a 20 year old human female. They tend to conserve their youth for longer, appearing younger than their human counterparts until they reach the age of 50, from when their decline into old age is abrupt and much faster than humans, causing very few to leave past 60. They seem to reproduce assexualy and thus it's unknown if they have a 'fertile' or 'reproductive' age.
==== Origin ====
Sylbari appeared sometime after the collapse of mainkind and their legends mention the First Mother crashing from the heavens, the crater on the ground forming Mother Lake, and the mother emerging from it to form the first Sylbari.
