Yeti

### Summary

Yeti, also commonly referred to as ''Yettin'' are tall monkes who reside in the north, calling the Farlands their home. They are one of the largest species on the Isle standing on average at 209-230cm. There are two ''types'' of yettin, the first one just referred to as ''Yeti'' who reside in the Yettin Lands, who average from 209-213cm, and the Brödvarl who live north of the Yettin Lands, in the Bulwark Lands, who average from 223-230cm. And lifespans range from 400 years for normal yettin to 410-425 years for Brödvarl. (To read about the Brödvarl click here)

The Yettin live in the northern regions of the Isle, mostly populating the south and middle of the Farlands, and Frostgrave is located on the other side of the north. Some notable Yetis are Warybar and his son Chrono.

### Habitat

They live nearly anywhere in the north, on the snowy plains, in the forests, and the tall mountains, sometimes even inside them, like Kungsalen. Food in the Farlands is much scarce than in the other Isles, and they mainly sustain themselves with Frost Bananas, Bulwark Mammoth, and fish, which is an important food source and why the largest Yettin settlements are located near water, and the reason Yettin are much more scattered and smaller settlements inland. They also engage in trade with other tribes, exchanging for example the valuable metals from their many mountain regions for food, etc.

### Physical characteristics

#### Appearance

They are tall and have a large muscle mass, they are covered in white fur, although there are records of Yettin with brown & black fur, like Sage the Mage. About a fourth of the Yeti population in the Yettin Lands have no fur on their chest and about five in a hundred of Brödvarl. Their muscle mass and the density of can vary greatly, the Yetis are weaker than the Brödvarl, the Brödvarl is taller and has much fluffier fur, which gives off a much bigger appearance. Around two in a hundred Yetis has horns, like Warybar's 2nd oldest son Warinir. The Gigantism trait is also frequent in them, and 4 of the 10 largest recorded monkes are Yetis, examples of these are Chrono & Gambit. A yettin has gigantism if they exceed the height of 3 meters.

#### Abilities

Their main abilities are their height, their resistance, and toughness to the cold and freezing climates thanks to their fur, which also helps resist attacks. They have long lifespans, the Yettin in the south live for around 400 years, and the ones up-north 410-425 years.

### History

With the first records of them from 11,500 BLC, a scarce find including Yeti remains and axes made from bone, it has continued to be one of their favored weapons in combat. There are two major Yeti Cultures; the Yeti of the Yettin Lands and Hardal, and the Brödvarl of the Bulwark. The largest difference between the two is that the Brödvarl value diplomacy, are avid promoters of peace, and have a strong stance against warfare, out-maneuvering and fleeing any opposing forces. The Yetis couldn't be more different, embracing a warfare culture, with rivaling clans fighting over contested lands, relics, etc. The first real regional power was the Yeti Kingdom, founded by Yetnar the Fearsome, who after forgotten conflicts with the Brödvarl. fled south to the Yettin Lands and united all the tribes through brutal conquest
