Vinelings

The Vinelings are a large group of peoples that live in the South-West of the continent, in Illhana, Galyria, Wirrshol, and Cleonia. Of the five major expressions outlined in The Ironhorn Accounts, The Vinelings are the second most populous, behind only the Plainswalkers.

They are characterized by the green tint of their skin, and their agility. Vinelings stand around six feet tall, and are known for the green tint of their skin. They live in the thick forests that cover most of the South West of the continent, and their green skin color serves primarily to camouflage them in this setting. Most Vinelings have only a slight green tint to their skin, although some communities residing deep within forests have more vividly green skin. They are extremely nimble, and also have excellent night vision. The latter attribute is most common in areas of forest which are so thickly covered that very little light is able to seep through. Some Vinelings are known to grow leaves from their head, among their hair.

Culture
The sheer number of Vinelings in Eroth means that their cultures differ wildly between regions. Some Vinelings practice an entirely regional religion and worship a pantheon that only their town and perhaps the neighboring towns are familiar with. Others practice a primarily Malokian religion, in which King Malok, the Vineling founder of the Malokian Kingdom, is the central figure. Some Malokian Vinelings believe that King Malok will return and restore Illhana to the might of its' predecessor. Others have simply integrated him into their pantheon.

In Lavakirr, some scholars and leaders have begun an attempt to unify the many Illhanian, and therefore Vineling, faiths. By identifying common themes, figures, and symbols in this huge array of religions, they hope to enact a spiritual and political reconciliation and unification of the many provinces of Illhana.
