Kith-Vaatar

The Kith-Vaatar are an ancient humanoid race. They originated on Aenor - which they call Bhikri - along with the Aenoreans.

Physiology
The Kith-Vaatar are usually about two and a half spans tall. They are ashen-skinned and have short, pointed ears. Their most notable physical feature is the pair of blood-red horns that sprout from the sides of their heads. Their blood is, instead of being red, a deep purple.

Technology
Kith-Vaatar machines are usually made of a metal called orudrium. Their shapes are elegant but sharp, and often have jagged parts.

Much of the technology of the Kith-Vaatar relies on small devices called fusion coils to produce energy. Essentially, a fusion coil is made of a metal called nathrak cased in adamar, and wrapped around a slender rod of fuel, usually helium. The whole apparatus is then cased in ultradurable glass, with the inside being so highly pressurized that the helium is a solid. When activated, the nathrak exerts such gravity upon the helium that it eventually fuses, generating a massive quantity of energy.

The Kith-Vaatar's technological specialty is gravitech, or technology dealing with the manipulation of gravity.

Culture
The culture of the Kith-Vaatar is as rich and varied as any other race. Kith-Vaatar warriors often use the bones of animals such as uzvesh, and make them into works of art by scoring intricate patterns on their surfaces.

As the horns of the Kith-Vaatar are rather cumbersome in battle, some warriors cut them off and make them into weapons. Others use them to keep records - animals killed, battles won, foes vanquished.
