The Yilän

The Yilän, also called the Nalji, were a race of humanoids that inhabited the Continent Jagga. They were distinguished by their colour, as half of the population had ebony skin, black hair and black or dark brown eyes, and the other half had white skin, white hair and grey or light blue eyes. They were the first soul sharers with the union of Ytvames, daughter of Queen Safeis, and an animal, it is speculated it was probably a nightingale. Ytvames and the nightingale became known as the Allmother and the Song King. Allmother's children were all soul sharers, and thus the gene spread through the Yilän and animals.
