Mice

The Mice (Mouse-Bear: 幼鼠) are one of the Twelve Species and are native to the Auspicious Mouse Kingdom. They are one of the largest populations that inhabit the Eastern Hemisphere. The Mice have historically lived alongside the Bears and have inhabited villages and towns that follow the Red River. The Mice are primarily divided into seven different ethnic groups of Mice: Beihe, Nanjiang, Lijiang, Heshan, Qianglong, Caihong, and Yunjiu.

Historically the Mice during the Era of the Tribe, the Mice were unified with the Bears in a tribal confederation named Xiongshu, or literally Bear Mouse. Historically much of the culture that the Mice share is intertwined with Bear culture. Most notably their language is shared and intertwined between the Bears and Mice. However, it is noted that Heishan Mice tend to speak Tigran. During the Era of the Celestial War, Xiongshu was invaded an over ten different ethnic mice tribes were rendered extinct during the war and subsequent Dragon Law.

After the Era of the Celestial War, the Mice began its own cultural independence from the Bears. The Mouse are considered to be one of the four Heralders of the Yellow, meaning the Mice are one of the four species that channel Yellow Spiritual Energy. The Mouse hold true to their beliefs of the Heavenly Mandate, a tradition that was espoused and propagated during the Era of the Celestial Empire that the Auspicious Mouse Revolution. Alongside this, Mice cuisine has since branched out from the more meat-heavy Xiongshu cuisine to a more plant & grain based cuisine.
