Ishiate

Their society was on the cusp of industrialisation when they got integrated into the Multiverse alongside Earth. Their society highly values nature and this caused a schism to form within their society. **Book 1 Chapter 97**

## Appearance

Most of their exposed skin was covered in a brown or white fur, sometimes mottled with spots. They had large black eyes, and a normal face and a mouth. Their ears somewhat resembled those of an elf’s though. His assessment was that these beings were a seventy-thirty mix of a human and a fawn. **Chapter 95**

## Camps

The Ishiate are split into two factions, the way of nature and the technology using factions.

### The Way of Nature

They live as closely to nature as they can. They feel vindicated feeling like the System with its anti-technology leaning has revealed their Way as the truth.

Treefathers are a species of trees from the Ishiate world that grew almost as large as the Redwoods of Earth. A few of them might have grown larger than 500 meters by now. They are considered holy places to the Ishiate. Even the technologically inclined camp considers the trees holy. If you cut down one of them you might inadvertently declare war with the whole Ishiate population. **Chapter 312**

They hadn't accomplished much during or after the Integration, and their top cultivator, Starlight, had left Earth behind long ago. Thankfully, it looked like they would become more useful as time passed.

They had a generally high affinity with the Dao of Life and Nature, and more and more talented healers were appearing in their ranks of Shamans. As long as Zac provided access to some of the Blessed Lands and some manuals, he could probably gain a competent medical corp in time for the invasion. **Chapter 953**

### The Way of Technology

They use technology but are not very advanced looking to Zac like Steampunk cosplayers. They were a few hundred years behind humanity at the time of the fall.

#### Tinkerers

The first time he saw the craftsmen, Zac had thought Basso Moon was dumping his town lunatics on Port Atwood in a bid to get rid of them. Most of them had large patches of fur singed off and were missing extremities, or even limbs. More than anything, they held a burning madness in their eyes, giving off a very unsettling feeling. But Zac soon realized he was wrong when he watched them mount one of their cannons on his wall. They were extremely skilled at what they did.

The tinkerers hadn’t cared in the least about the various species walking the island but instead focused on the various technologies available. They had been astounded by human contraptions such as computers and cars, but they clearly focused more on things connected to the System, which Zac felt was for the best. This group, in particular, was mainly concerned about weaponizing Nexus Crystals and turning them into bombs, and it was their experiments that had caused them to look like they did. **Bk 2 Ch 38**

The **[Godslayer Cannons]** were actually homemade wares of the Atwood Empire, a joint effort between the Ishiate and clan Volor, and the former's mad penchant for destruction had stirred the berserker hearts hiding in the depths of the usually taciturn gemlings. The cannons didn't quite live up to their name as Late to Peak E-grade War Machines, but their destructive capabilities were nothing to scoff at when you had the money to craft high-quality bombs. **Chapter 1,096**
