Category:Lethos

Following an evolutionary path very similar to that of humans on Urd, a number of gorillas in the jungles of the Korseki subcontinent on Amriak became bipedal tool users, and eventually of the same intelligence and sapience as humanity (the Lethos formed complex social patterns and built towns millennia before humans, while technologically they lagged behind).

The Lethos are, on average, taller than Humans, with 7' being a very common height. Their build is similarly larger and more muscular than a Human's. Lethos are easily distinguished by their skin, which is any of a range of greys, from iron to slate in some cases. Their irises are never blue, but can be green, brown, grey, or violet.

The Lethos seem to be aligned more closely to Chaos than Humans, and as such are less proficient with the Elements. They have a certain aptitude with the Pure Magics, however.

The Lethos spread across the continent of Amriak from Korsek undisturbed, only combatting nature and themselves, until the opening of the Rift approximately 2000 years before the events of Volume 1. Through the Rift, Humans entered their Realm. Lethos also travelled through the Rift to Urd and Nekara, setting up their own civilisations in that time and forgetting the past just as Humans did.

From there the story of the Lethos breaks apart into three. For more information see the segments on Lethos on each of the Edens below.
