AAAAA THE BABIES. I absolutely adore the design and history of the Qulux. You always go above and beyond in your work.
Creatures of Catalaxia
Pt.1 - Qulux
Qulux are large, omnivorous creatures native to the Arath-dur mountains, formerly within the territories of The Farathir. Qulux are one of the more intelligent non-sapient species, beaten most notoriously by the long-extinct Drakken. Due to their level of intelligence as well as their amiability, they are a favoured mount and pet of the Ines'tur people of Arath-dur.
Notably, they are utilised as one-half of the Cloudherders, a job taken on by both Qulux and their Ines'tur rider. This culturally significant job entails; guiding and splitting clouds, general reconnaissance and maintaining clan borders. The Ines'tur supposedly believe that the minds of their ancestors dwell in the clouds; that to guide the clouds is to calm them. Though the mountains are a known epicentre of weather.
Evidence suggests that Qulux may have resided in much of the wider Farathir and Valamere territories, but may have been pushed back to Arath-dur by both overhunting and the increasing threat of the Basur'drakar.
