Hamanu

The Hamanu are one of the native Folk of Zenith. They have an Overlight bond with the pilgrim Zenith Order Monks and worship the violet light of Wisdom above all else.

They are apes, thick of fur and broad of back, standing head and shoulders taller than any Haarkeen. Many of them are very strong, and all are expert climbers, with clever fingers and toes. They are exceedingly observant individuals, and not much escapes their keen sight or hearing. They may be reticent speakers, but do not mistake their quiet ways for stupidity — the Hamanu see much that others do not.

 IRON HAMANU 

There are whispered stories of an offshoot of Hamanu that broke from the greater Folk when they allied with the Zenith Orders. Not for them, these Overlight bonds with hairless Haarkeen. These creatures are powerful, elemental things, who despise the Monks and Yamari equally. Yet these Iron Hamanu reserve the greatest volume of contempt for their fellow Hamanu — those who bent the knee to the friendship of the Haarkeen invaders. It is said that the most righteous practice of the Iron Hamanu is cannibalism.
