History

WIP

Origin

Sofontti were uplifted by Dragons. Uplifted by "NAME", the Mother of Hare kind, and a dragon of AREA.

Society

Culture

Lapintti live in Kalevala, which is a heavily isolated country of wetlands and forests with many Sofontti clans; they have technologically achieved the Late Iron Age. Inherently they seek to improve their own technology whenever possible through trade and discovery but due to harsh conditions of the land they live, majority of their time and energy goes into survival. Lapintti, like many Sofontti clans are farmers and hunter-gatherers.

Magic

Lapintti are not permitted by their gods, Ukko, Tapio to practice foreign arcana. At most, they will dabble in Animism, Mysticism, or Ensorcelling. Very rarely are there Animists with Gramarye, or Shaman who borrow the power of a dragon, leading a life of spiritual service. Galdr, foreign Glamour, Pacts, and Dominion are forbidden by sacred law and seen as evil, while Poetics used by the living are seen as anathema. Causing a ruckus with magic will rapidly earn the ire of Kalevalan gods--Dragons who will send their minions to hunt those who violate these sacred laws.

Language

Lapintti speak Sofonic, which is a phonetic language that incorporates actual words, animal vocalizations varying upon the race of the Sofontti who is speaking, and body language. This is seen as the most complicated of languages across the entire world as each regional dialect varies significantly between the various clades of Sofontti.

When written, Sofonic is a runic language of glyphs, often with jagged and claw-like markings etched by claws. OOCly Finnish is used to represent Sofonic, and non-verbal information may be written in *italics*.

Biology

Lapintti are semi-humanoid.

Lapintti are small sized, bipedal, semi-humanoid hares that stand upright on two legs. They have poseable thumbs on their paws.

Aging & Reproduction

Lapintti are considered kits until the age of sixteen, at which point they may marry.

Foxtti live in Kalevala. Foxtti are a work in progress.

The Foxtti clan are known merchants of the regions of Kalevala. They are crafty and skilled barters with connections to the largest trade hub in the entire region. They are proud defenders of Turku, the capital tribe of the entire region. Their skills lay not only with the use of coin and fur but also with the use of bow and arrows. They are skilled marksmen and lethally accurate archers which many attackers have come to face. They've defended the region from northman attacks for generations and so far even the infamous northmen have decided to leave the city alone and rather barter with their goods than take them with swords.

Fox merchants can be seen in every corner of the Kalevala, either on the outskirts or in the core sections themselves.

Foxtti are known to only surrender their capital to the next king of Kalevala, when one will arise.
