Shav-eks [Voidite: Śäv-ek] are a race of mutated quadrupedal humans located in and around the Emerald Shade, primarily in Voidkree. The origins of the race is not entirely established and has fallen to vigorous speculation. It isn't know if this race was natural or some mistake caused by either the Reset or created before the Reset.
Etymology
The name originates from early Voidian stories and fairy tales that misinterpreted the race as a group of forest spirits and due to such circumstances they were called the "Śäv-ekula" in Voiditen or "Spirits" in common.
History
The history of the Shav-ek is hard to trace due to them mostly living nomadic and semi-arboreal lives for most of their history after the Reset with their only real reference being called forest spirits in Voidian oral tales. The first time it was realized they weren't spirits was in 1304 when the first true Shav-eki-Voidian contact was made. Though even then they remained mostly in the forest with only a few thousand actually being in Voidkree. It speculated that their kind may have seen how the Shibettans and others of their kind were treated and decided it would be best to keep their distance from Voidian settlements.
Their numbers in Voidkree only rose after the nation passed the "Sapient Equality Act".
