Vanara

Vanara are a race of monkeylike humanoids that are native to the northern jungles. They are one of the few races to emerge over the last hundred years, migrating south exiled by constant wars and invasions of their homeland. They are an insightful and quick thinking race, but are rather mischevious with a love for practical jokes. They live in small communities of a few dozen in most cities around Ordos, Aberdine and Monte Island. There are larger clusters at many martially oriented monestaries.

When they first emerged they were a more primitive race, a trait that still shows in their culture to a small degree. Largley they have become as civilized as any other race, with many thoroughly amused by technology. Vanara and Gnomes often make fast friends, sharing a mischevious sense of humor and generally laid back approach to life.
