Description

Vagaras is a primitive planet about ¾’s the size of earth, which is currently in the midst of an ice age. The biota is very similar to that of Earth’s in an extreme case of convergent evolution, with many analogues of fish, amphibian, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The planet has four continents, with many smaller Islands, though most of life occurs around it’s equator. A rarity on a galactic scale the harsh conditions of the planet have seeming created ten distant sapient species in order to coup with the harsh environment. Even more rare is that all ten species are aware of one another and have formed a relatively peaceful Iron Age society amongst all its peoples. Though they have names for all their species they collectively refer to themselves as Vagarasi.

Rifling

Riflings were the first of the sophonts to gain sapience. Evolved from carnivorous, weasel-like mammals and are capable of both bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion. Though carnivores they did not actively hunt their prey instead opting to craft traps and tools such as pitfalls and snares. There saber-like canine teeth are used to deal a killing blow on the throat of their prey if their trap doesn’t instantly kill. Before forming the collective society, they were a solitary people, even amongst their own kind, though they did communicate with each other through drawings that they place at the edges of their territory. Unwittingly they also manage to play an active role in the evolution of their former prey the Cerganos.
