Yuke Tribe

Yuke tanding high above the other tribes, the Yukes are beings of a strange design. Their arms are long and adorned with feathers and their faces are masked by ornamental helms. The only way to differentiate a male from a female is by the style of their garb and the shape of their small, vestigial wings. While males sport small bat wings, females sport tiny angel wings instead. Yukes are the world’s authority over all things magical, as their forms are believed to be spirits bounds to malleable forms to amplify their natural magical talents. The fact that the Yuke tribes were able to resist the unstoppable might of the ancient Lility Empire testifies to their mastery of the arcane secrets of the world. Yukes are studious and curious by nature, leading to many knowledgeable scholars, professors, and wizards to be of a proud Yuke lineage. Even Yukes who have never left their homes know much of the outside world due to Yuke settlements possessing magnificent archives of every subject imaginable. Their perseverance and dedication to their chosen crafts, however, tend to portray the race as reclusive, unapproachable, or in some cases, scheming and dastardly. Deep down, though, Yukes are very peaceful and make respected colleagues and beloved friends. Some say that when a Yuke forges a deep and intimate bond with another person, the Yuke permits them to gaze upon their true form under their helm. Few have ever had this privilege, and those who have seen under the masks are trusted enough to not speak of what they have seen.
