History
WIP
Origin
Sofontti were uplifted by Dragons. Uplifted by "NAME", the Mother of Hare kind, and a dragon of AREA.
Society
Culture
Jänis 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. Jänis, like many Sofontti clans are farmers and hunter-gatherers.
Magic
Jänis 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
Jänis 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
Jänis are small sized, bipedal, semi-humanoid hares that stand upright on two legs. They have poseable thumbs on their paws.
Aging & Reproduction
Jänis are considered kits until the age of sixteen, at which point they may marry.
