Warpvores

The Warpvores are a tribal race, preferring to live in swamps or forests where the hunting game has more to offer.
They appear like humans, having fox ears and a fluffy foxtail. The male ones have a white coloured tail and white coloured ears, while the female ones have black ears and a black tail with a white tip.
The Warpvores are creatures with great connection to the spirits of the world, and they are blessed with the ability to teleport short distances. The Warpvores are famed for their hunting and metallurgy.

## Responsibilities

It’s more common for the female ones to be the ones responsible for the food of the tribe, so they go hunting. The male ones remain in the settlements to train their craft, which is mostly metallurgy. They craft tools and decorative items like statues using them. Woodcarving is also being trained.

## Mating

The males reveal their feelings to the females, by crafting them a hunting tool, like metal claws, spears or bows. If the female is interested, she can choose to accept the tool and go hunting using it. After returning with the prey, they have to eat it together as a couple before they mate for the first time.

## Leader

Their tribes are lead by a Matriarch, called High Saint. The high saint has a few other female Warpvores aiding her with the management and relaying information to the rest of the people.
The high saint is constantly asleep, with her consciousness travelling around the world and getting glimpses of the future. That way she can also intrude other people’s dreams and transfer messages to them through it. The saints despite not constantly asleep, they have the ability to enter other people’s dreams and so they come in touch with the High Saint and talk with her the future of the tribe.

## Saints

For someone to be a saint, first of all, she needs to be a Female Warpvore. In addition, from young age, they need to be getting visions in their sleep while they tend to sleep more than all the other girls of their age. In addition she needs to have developed the ability to travel around the world in her dreams. Last of all, she needs to be a virgin, otherwise she can’t use the power above.

## Magic

In general, Warpvores use magic, by becoming one with the spirits and the environment around them and persuading them into doing their bidding. That means that depending on the environment they are into and the concentration of spirits in the area, the potency of their magic varies. In addition, Warpvores are more used in communicating with the spirits of swamps or forests, which makes it easier for them to “cast”, while in those biomes. On the other hand, they can’t reach into agreements that easily with spirits of urban environments.

## Teleporting

Despite being able to teleport-warp using their own natural ability. When using other devices to teleport, like spells or portals it has a side-effect on them, usually making them sick and nauseous.

## Food

The Warpvores are carnivorous creatures, only eating meat and perhaps a few greenery when they have stomach issues. They usually eat their food raw. But sometimes would also Smoke the food to preserve it for later use. In rare occasions like celebrations, food might be cooked as well. Warpvores eat what they hunt, which is usually rabbits, small dogs, birds and other small animals.

## Behaviour to Outsiders

The Warpvores are generally afraid of outsiders, preferring to evade them, by hiding their settlements when they close near. Usually, the saints notify the tribe when someone is going to arrive.

If a Warpvore meets an outsider, it will most likely try to escape, by warping as far away as possible.

## History

The Warpvores used to be a Race that existed in the world of Derkusia. However, it eventually came to extinction by hunters and slavers.
