"Sheyeru" is an epithet for a catgirl people who were first spotted in the Tranquil Sea out of an anomalous whirlpool. The name "Sheyeru" is believed to have derived from their native denonym. They have been observed as exclusively female, and being composed primarily of catgirls. They have been spotted fishing and resting in the coasts of several bodies of water in Pelia, coming into intermittent contact with several nations' fishermen and inhabitants near the sea. Their technology such as maritime vessels and tools, along with their general outlook have been described as "archaic" and "very primitive".
History
The Sheyeru were reported to have arrived from "Jawmund Sheyer". It is unknown what kind of place or world "Jawmund Sheyer" is, and little is known about the history of the Sheyeru in the time spent in that world.
The initial arrival of the Sheyeru by around January 1613 was marked by migrations of catgirl flotillas that reached the coasts of various nations. They sailed in fleets of galleys, outrigger boats and dugout canoes. They arrived in the coastlines of Prestore, Crown Royal, Magia Regnum and Regeliana.
By February, a river mouth adjacent to Crown Royal Goverment was settled by a number of flotillas. Villages and settlements were observed to have been constructed in the area. The name given by the Sheyeru to the river mouth is "Shyubyi Rowsch", which translates to "river mouth" or "estuary" in the Sheyeru language. This area has now been regarded as a de facto territory of the Sheyeru.
By March, catgirl flotillas have arrived in the coasts of Lurynia and the northern coast of Prestore in the north. In the south, catgirl flotillas have arrived in the southern shores of Crown Royal Goverment and the Sea of Gold as well as in the Bisyach Archipelago.
Since May 1613, the number of catgirl flotillas in the Tranquil Sea were reported to have decreased. Sheyeru Catgirl vessels were also spotted at Khijovia, Kasifken,Panghompang, Yulsan and Tohokushima at Kaidokoku. Sheyeru settlements were also seen expanding at the The Conscious Lands outwards from Shyubyi Rowsch, and camps were spotted at the southern coasts of the Estethan Desert. Island settlements and campsites have also been spotted at the Ulwu Rim.
Sheyeru interactions on the coast
The nature of Sheyeru interactions with the locale have been varied. Most contacts have reportedly been peaceful, and cruise ships and cargo ships have reported spotting Sheyeru vessels with no problems whatsoever. A few of the Sheyeru has also tried to barter with fishermen or beach resort goers. On Jan 14, 1613, Sheyeru vessel landings were spotted on Prestore. The landings of wooden boats and catamarans on Prestorean beaches caused bewilderment among Prestorean beachgoers and bystanders on the coast. The operations of Oyster Paradise Beach Resort in Triding, Prestore was disrupted by the landing of Sheyeru Catgirls' vessels.
Though violent interactions were also reported. A number of Coast Guard vessels from nations in the Tranquil Sea have tried to restrict the Sheyeru in fishing in their territorial waters. One Coast Guard crew from Prestore have reported a violent encounter with a Sheyeru boat, with the catgirls in the boat throwing spears and shooting arrows at the Coast Guard crew, reportedly forcing the crew to fire on the catgirls in response. The encounter was posted on Youtube on Jan 21, 1613.
"Raids" by catgirls on coastal properties and beach houses have also been reported. One beachside mansion was burned by Sheyeru catgirls on Jan 27, 1613. The incident was reported on CCTV with a number of catgirls burning the mansion with torches, but not before pilfering the mansion with items they regarded as valuable. Beach properties were looted by the catgirls, but it seemed that they have no knowledge of what items are expensive or valuable from a modern point of view. They resorted mostly to stealing curtains, glassware and household furnishings and seem to only take away items that they can personally carry. Electronics were reportedly left behind, taken as proof that the Sheyeru does not understand either electronics or modern consumer goods and consumerism. The arson and looting of these properties, which were mostly owned by upper-class citizens became popular on social media, with many people with anti-elitist sympathies tweeting the incidents with hashtags "#CatgirlsStealtheRich", with many people sympathizing with the Sheyeru catgirls for stealing mostly coastal properties owned by wealthy residents. Sabrina Watson, a Prestorean anthropologist said that the Sheyeru probably do not understand class distinctions, and these properties were only targeted due to their promixity to the coast, the fact that they turned out to be all high value properties or owned by wealthy residents only turned out to be a coincidence.
Politics
The "Sheyeru" are believed to have no formal governmental authority, though experts believe that this is a result of their recent migration, and not necessarily due to an anarchistic model or lack of knowledge of formal political organizations. Witnesses who encountered them in their forays on the coast did not describe them as egalitarian or lacking authoritarian models, but as actually hierarchical as the fleets of fisher catgirls seem to refer to a "catgirl" or a "girl" who has authority over a specific section of fishing flotillas. The Catgirls are also said to not partake in decisions of their own, and always refer to "catgirls" or "girls" who are of higher authority over them.
Experts believe that this is evidence of a formal hierarchical organization among the catgirl flotillas. Observers also believe that the Sheyeru have the trappings of a formal political or religious organization, as the Catgirls refer to a "High Princess" or "Daschi Horunryonen-schyu" of a conflicting name, either "Shiyara" or "Mira". They also refer to priestesses or "High Priestesses" named "Ryifin". With all these information, the consensus is that the Sheyeru are a formal polity just undergoing a recent migration, and a more formal political or religious organization will likely be set up after they have finished their migration, in contrast to earlier observations that they are "anarchist" or "egalitarian".
Military
There are no observations of a standing army or military among the Sheyeru, but witnesses have observed weaponry being carried by the Catgirls such as spears, or fishing harpoons. Sheyeru Catgirls are also observed wielding atlatls or spear-throwers. Sheyeru technology is believed to be fairly primitive.
Reports emerged of the Sheyeru Catgirls having access to some firearms such as pistols, but it is believed that firearms are being wielded in fairly small quantities, and have been gained through trade and theft or looting from encountered police officers or coast guard crew.
Economy
It is unknown if the Sheyeru have an understanding of money or currency. The Sheyeru Catgirls primarily engage in barter among fishermen or people they encountered in the coast, with no observable commodity money or mediums of exchange. The Sheyeru are currently engaged mostly in coastal fishing, or in barter with the inhabitants of the coast. Eyewitnesses describe them as always in constant awe or bewilderment in encountering modern goods or technology. There are also faerie girls among the Sheyeru who were observed as just giving out colorful pebbles or rocks to bystanders with no discernable function. Mot much is known about these faeries, or the significance of these transactions, or about the colorful pebbles being given away.
Religion
Most people believe that the Sheyeru have a polytheistic religion called "Ryeifinism". The Sheyeru are believed to worship a pantheon of exclusively female goddesses, as no male gods have been mentioned. Some of the Catgirls have been observed in the middle of religious rituals or prayer. Eyewitnesses have recounted the Sheyeru Catgirls worshipping "Ryumine Marmargaels" as a "faerie-goddess of the seas". Experts believe that there are more goddesses or "faerie-goddesses" that are yet to be mentioned.
Culture
The Sheyeru Catgirls are believed to possess a vibrant musical tradition. Lots of Catgirls on boats have been seen carrying drums and clapsticks, and chanting and singing in unison. Eyewitnesses on the coast have regularly seen Catgirls singing and chanting in Sheyeru songs before landing on the coast. Clapsticks seem to be a prominent musical instrument in the Sheyeru musical repertoire.
The five-pointed star seems also to be of special symbolic and ceremonial significance among the Sheyeru Catgirls, as lots of boats or galleys have been seen with a "catgirl flagbearer" carrying a tall wooden pole with a five-pointed star on top.
Architecture
Sheyeru villages and settlements were spotted in an unnamed river mouth adjacent to Koskeau and Crown Royal. Satelite imagery shows wooden piers, tents, mud thatched huts, wooden houses, clearings, trails and campfires. Sheyeru architecture has been shown to be very primitive, but the size and amount of the settlements seem to be increasing.
