	Lagus are a race of ~~giant~~ humanoid lagomorphs ~~who are~~ the ~~most adept psions in~~ the ~~world yet are set apart from the other races~~ of the ~~worlds due to their strange nature~~ and ~~communal living styles. Lagus formed~~ the ~~Warren Federation~~ in ~~league~~ with the kobolds and ~~later~~ rodentfolk, ~~creating~~ a ~~vast underground empire where they made marvels~~ of ~~stone masonry and architecture supported by their telekinetic abilities~~. While ~~considered~~ the ~~de-facto leaderships~~ and ~~administration~~ of the ~~Warren Federation~~, ~~Lagus~~ can ~~be found at~~ most ~~levels~~ of ~~their~~ society and ~~have extreme body dimorphism between males and females coupled with an extreme disparity between~~ birth ~~rates~~, ~~setting them apart from others~~ and ~~leading some to believe male~~ lagus ~~do not exist due~~ to their ~~rarity~~.		Lagus are a race of large sized humanoid lagomorphs known far and wide for their great psionic abilities and iron fisted control of the Warren Federation. Being the sole founder of the federation and having taken on kobolds as a vassal race, lagus were once the premier rulers of the federation in early recorded history before cultural norms shifted, in particular with the acceptance of the rodentfolk. While kobolds were by and large content and even happy with the status quo laboring under the lagus, the rodentfolk quickly campaigned their position as equals to raise up the kobolds as well, shifting what was one an authoritarian counsel consisting only of lagus clan matriarchs to a council of three racial representatives from each of the largest burrows. While this change was ultimately for the better, something even the lagus admit, they are loathe to give up their authoritarian natures and deep entrenchment within the governmental, militarily, and internal police of the nation. Much of their waning influence compared to the past comes from the reproductive limits that lagus suffer from, with only one male being born for every hundred females. While the average lagus woman can produce anywhere between one to six children every three months, the sheer lack of viable male offspring means that most male lagus are kept safely secured and all but enslaved within any clans seat of power. Male lagus are one of the mostly hotly contended criticisms of lagus society, as the rodentfolk and kobolds are keenly aware that these men are, by misfortune of birth, kept as breeding stock by members of their own clan and often traded or used as bargaining chips in both political and economic deals. So far, little reform has ever been done, as the only matter which will unite all lagus clans under a single unified banner that will bend all of its political might, both legal and illegal, is a threat to the status quo of how they treat their men.

	~~For every singular male~~ lagus ~~born nearly~~ a ~~hundred females are born~~, ~~a disparity~~ of ~~gender that has led to the~~ lagus ~~being~~ a ~~matriarchal~~ and ~~female dominated society~~. ~~From the outside lagus society differs most heavily~~ to ~~most due~~ to ~~this simple fact of life~~. Lagus ~~organize themselves into clans controlled~~ by the ~~most influential and powerful matriarch~~, the ~~lack~~ of ~~males make~~ the ~~idea~~ of a ~~nuclear family unusual~~ to ~~the~~ lagus ~~who instead rear young communally with either the entire clan~~ or ~~a set subsect~~ of ~~wet nurses whose sole job is to care for~~ the ~~clan's young. Males among clans are often put in~~ a ~~precarious position as they~~ are ~~integral~~ to ~~a clan's growth~~ and ~~a quite powerful bargaining chip when dealing~~ with ~~other clans~~. ~~Males~~ are ~~put in~~ the ~~position of being exceptionally psychically trained~~ to ~~avoid their minds being manipulated or dominated by members of another clan~~ but ~~are not so empowered that they could try~~ to ~~break free or garner influence of their own clan. Many kobolds and rodentfolk are keenly aware that male~~ lagus ~~are practically slaves~~ and ~~often get into lengthy and difficult political battles with the lagus to change this~~.		Lagus political ability is well known, with lagus diplomats being rightly feared and well respected within their domains. Having a long history within entrenched authoritative power structures, both within their clans and socially, make the nature of lagus naturally inclined towards accepting their roles and positions within a hierarchy. In a way, this mirrors kobolds, as few lagus will have ambition and can find easy contentment even in simple work. Those few with ambition generally seek to start their own clans, usually upon securing a few males and enough influence, leading them to become matriarchs. Lagus are a common sight in any leadership, bureaucratic, or police role within the federation. Though it is long suspected (and never quite proven) it is believed that many lagus take leadership roles by using the natural influence generated by their psionic nature. Be it a diplomat reading the minds of those she is trying to convince, a commander carefully determining the state of morale of her troops, or even just an enforcer using the emotions and thoughts of a suspect to determine guilt, lagus have an almost supernatural understanding of how to lead others. The most famous (or infamous) example of the lagus psi-corps, a division of their internal enforcers who are given special training to allow them to directly read the thoughts and memories of others, with an even smaller sub-division rumored to be able to detect crimes before they happen and prevent them or capture the suspect the moment after. This division is largely why the federation burrows are considered one of the safest places to live, as crime is all but non-existent thanks to the lagus psi-corps and their ruthless enforcement.

	~~Sadly~~, ~~there is little headway in this area. While~~ the ~~federation is officially a representative republic and egalitarian one facet that unite all the lagus clans into a voting block that halts any attempt to give their~~ males ~~more rights is kobolds or rodentfolk trying~~ to ~~change~~ the ~~status quo~~. ~~Having once been the sole authority within federation government~~ the lagus are ~~used to political maneuvering~~ and ~~thus little has changed for~~ them in ~~the last few centuries~~. ~~Because~~ of ~~male~~ lagus ~~being treated as little more than breeding stock~~, lagus ~~are generally~~ even ~~handed and careful~~ with ~~using their psychic powers as~~ to ~~not push~~ other ~~federation members to far~~. ~~Unlike other empires who use regular enforcers the lagus~~ are ~~almost exclusively the majority~~ of the ~~police within~~ the ~~federation through~~ the ~~open use~~ of ~~telepaths to read the minds and psychically subdue criminals~~. ~~Laws and regulations prevent the~~ lagus ~~from exerting these powers freely and a labyrinthine series of processes and rules ensure only those whom telepaths have good cause have their thoughts read.~~		Lagus are numerically smaller than kobolds or rodentfolk, as despite their rapid reproduction the sparingly few males make it near impossible to match the natural population growth of other races. Outsiders will often note the severe lack of males, with some thinking that lagus are an entirely female race, and may approach them with that idea in mind. Sadly for potential suitors, while a lagus will incorporate men of other races into their clan and raise these non-lagus children in a traditional manner through communal support, lagus struggle to conceive with men of other races. The chance is likened to a one in one thousand possibility, even with humans who are known for being able to intermix more readily with other races. These children are also of the fathers race and thus lack the psionic power that even the most humble lagus can boast of. The end result leaves lagus with lower numbers than most races across the world, a fact that frustrates many more ambitious lagus as the natural hierarchies that they form coupled with their innate supernatural powers would be a much greater force to be reckoned with if they merely had the population of other races. For now, lagus remain well entrenched in the power structure of the federation through careful labyrinthine political plots and intrigue and through careful use of diplomacy.

	~~Between~~ the ~~rather iron fisted control of clan matriarchs~~, ~~their control of males, use of telepaths, and their~~ many ~~seats within political and civil works make~~ the ~~lagus naturally lean towards an authoritarian approach. Another aspect setting them apart from most races is~~ that to be ~~apart of~~ a ~~clan and thus under its dominion is also~~ to be ~~cared for and provided for by said clan. Lagus clans are more than willing to bring in male outsiders,~~ with ~~some lagus choosing to take on husbands~~ of other races ~~and thus diversifying the clan further~~, ~~though child rearing is usually done~~ in the ~~traditionally communal manner unless both parents wish otherwise. Most outsiders are largely ignorant~~ of the ~~internal authoritive nature of lagus or the guile in which they navigate~~ federation ~~politics, to most outsiders the lagus are seen as a mostly female race~~ of ~~powerful psychics who are more than willing to provide aid and cooperation with others~~.

Blues are generally treated like any other goblin, neither exalted nor treated as pariahs, simply as different from the norm even with their unique psionic talents among the empire. The only pariahs among the goblins are the tribal remnants still eking out life in the southern plains as independent or gnoll-aligned tribes.

	Goblins are a race ~~of conflict~~, ~~ranging from~~ the ~~vicious outer goblins belonging to~~ the ~~feral tribes known as~~ the ~~Stone Crushers or the more civilized~~ and ~~well-liked city goblins, colloquially called the Iron Bound. Goblins have often been likened to dwarves by many~~ of the ~~onokrins ogres~~, ~~a diminutive race with a consummate need to tinker~~ and ~~create~~. ~~Many~~ goblins ~~simply must have work or they will often turn to vice~~, their ~~natures making them heavily inclined to all manner of maintenence, creation~~, and ~~study~~ of ~~complex mechanics~~ or ~~magic~~. ~~While~~ goblins ~~can~~ be ~~described as wild by~~ the ~~standards~~ of the ~~Onokrin~~, the ~~city born Iron Bound have made goblins renowned for their ability to tinker, construct~~, and ~~ultimately work extremely well with all things mechanical~~. ~~This innate cunning also extends into other fields~~, ~~such as alchemy~~ and ~~magic, allowing for goblins~~ to ~~supplement~~ their ~~small size~~ and ~~lacking strength for a wide variety of applicable skills~~. ~~As a result~~, ~~many goblins are experts in the way~~ of ~~magi-tech and even the humblest~~ of ~~goblins can boast~~ a ~~passing knowledge on such devices~~.		Goblins are an often disregarded race among the Onokrin, lacking the martial prowess of humans and orcs and without the innate magical talent common among the ogres. What sets them apart and makes them a valued member race of the empire is their innate understanding all things magical, mechanical, and alchemical. For reasons even goblins cannot adequately explain any goblin, save for their sub-race blues, need only touch a machine and they will immediately understand the entire function of the device whether it is magical or mechanical. This knowledge allows them to readily recreate and share the technology between each other that is then rapidly recreated over empire holdings. It is almost entirely thanks to goblins that the most advanced technology and magitech is widely spread, be it the use of resonance power systems in the average citizens home, the refrigeration of food through ice boxes, or mass transportation through arcane and steam trains. The eventual end result of this knowledge sharing lead to the formation of multiple colleges that focus on training new engineers, alchemists, and rune sages to more widely apply their talents to frontier towns and other empires beyond their borders. These colleges and learning institutions are parkways training facilities and research institutes, as goblin students need only be introduced to working versions of technology to swiftly understand it. They then move on to developing new methods while students of other races follow behind them at a much slower pace.

	~~Goblins contribute and are~~ known ~~for more than merely their tool use~~, the ~~same streak that other empire races think~~ of ~~as 'wild' making goblins highly creative~~. ~~Lesser known but by no means lesser contributions~~ to the ~~Onokrin at the behest of~~ goblins ~~include music~~, ~~alchemy, leisure games, and non-violent sporting. Within music goblins are exceptional musicians~~ due to their ~~innate technical understanding of~~ the ~~musical process and theory~~. ~~Most goblins can learn instruments as quickly as they pick up tools and favor precision instruments~~ such ~~as pianos~~, ~~trumpets, or saxophones. This preference for woodwind and brass instruments has led~~ to ~~a thriving community~~ of ~~jazz players~~, ~~a common sight for casinos, taverns~~, and ~~other night life areas often include goblin jazz bands~~. The ~~most famous~~ of which ~~ply their trade in Far Water, the port town where the city night life never sleeps. In terms of other~~ leisure ~~goblins bend their mind towards complex or thought-provoking games such~~ as ~~chess~~, ~~card games~~, ~~or card carp where popular social tournaments are held on a seasonal basis~~.

	~~Many~~ goblins ~~also take readily~~ to alchemy, ~~being~~ capable of ~~creating and~~ making ~~alchemical mixtures using~~ the ~~base chemicals refined from scratch. Many goblin alchemist~~ are ~~capable of creating simple but effective labs with equipment no other race can puzzle out~~ the ~~use of~~. ~~Even trained~~ alchemists often ~~struggle to keep up~~ with ~~goblins~~, ~~leading to many believing that goblin alchemy is~~ the ~~result~~ of ~~innate magical abilities within~~ goblins ~~themselves. Regardless~~ of ~~the source~~, ~~quite~~ a ~~few~~ goblins ~~become rosaria or healers in their own right~~, ~~though more than enough choose to use~~ this ~~skill~~ in ~~brewing and drink mixing, a lucrative trade among~~ the ~~hard drinking denizens of~~ the ~~Onokrin~~.

	Rodentfolk are a widespread and well-known group of short rodent-like people who travel across the world in groups ranging from caravans, train crews, and sometimes ships. They are best known for their adept skill at merchantry and caravanning, a talent that seats them at the head of most thriving markets. While skilled at all manner of trade, rodentfolk are widely traveled and adept at both living and thriving anywhere, an aspect that has seen them at home in nearly any town or city. Within their own home federation rodentfolk often take up roles as engineers and industrialists, forming the complex and specialist labors while working closely with their federation allies.

	In the area of merchantry the rodentfolk are consummate capitalists, every action even among their own clan is some form of trade or bargain, be it for material, money, or favors. Charity is an entirely foreign concept to rodentfolk, they may at best offer something for 'free' with the sometimes-vague hint that they will be owed a favor or return on investment later. This attitude surprisingly does not engender ire from other races as it allows most who know rodentfolk to know where they stand and what is expected, as long as one is ready to wheel and deal few rodentfolk can be considered unreasonable. Rodentfolk ~~will make~~ a ~~market~~ of ~~anything and thus can~~ be ~~found everywhere~~, ~~from merchants to accountants to trade barons~~.

This attitude surprisingly does not engender ire from other races as it allows most who know rodentfolk to know where they stand and what is expected, as long as one is ready to wheel and deal few rodentfolk can be considered unreasonable. While charity is not a concept to Rodentfolk, honesty is, and a rodentfolk who is not honest is an exiled pariah at best. This self policing attitude towards honest dealings is how rodentfolk maintain a good reputation as even the worst of them will be fair, even if it means abusing wording and the letter of a contract rather than the spirit.

	Those who shy away from the merchant path that rodentfolk are most known for will usually go towards mercenary or food-related works. Rodentfolk are exceptional snipers, with peerless aim and talents with rifles and handguns that put most races to utter shame. This natural talent make them common mercenaries on train cars where rodentfolk stay positioned atop the cars ready to gun down bandits or gnoll raiders with ruthless efficiency. Many rodentfolk live by the motto that, if you find yourself in melee, you messed up. ~~But as above, so below, as most~~ trains and railways are owned by rodentfolk ~~one~~ can find them serving on the galley cars where rodentfolk chefs make exceptional quality food. A common ~~trend~~ among rodentfolk is they live by their stomachs and will only settle for the best and most delicious food. This innate need makes many become chefs with their own galla of secret recipes, spices, and dishes that are traded and sold for the same price one would trade gold ~~bars~~.

	Lastly, though making up a small portion of the rodentfolk, are their ~~innate engineers that are almost exclusively~~ the ~~capybarakin~~. The ~~capybarakin are most often likened to dwarves with their love~~ of ~~work~~ and ~~rivalling of goblins in~~ their ~~mechanical skills~~. ~~While exceptional, capybarakin are exceedingly~~ rare ~~compared~~ to ~~other rodentfolk~~ and ~~generally rarely live federation territories thanks to their value building their~~ underground ~~holds or above ground rail systems~~. ~~Most~~ of the ~~kin as many call them for short~~ are ~~in high demand~~ and ~~thus indulge in their passion for work from dawn till dusk~~.		Lastly, though making up a small portion of the rodentfolk, are batfolk or 'spirit touched' of their race. In ages past, ratfolk lived deep underground in caverns lit by glowing fungi largely devoid of any light besides the dim gleam of bioluminescent mushrooms. The hundreds of miles of caverns were where the primitive rodentfolk lived, largely remaining near the relative safety of the glowshrooms and only venturing out when guided by their batfolk. These rare individuals were able to see far better within the darkness, mapping out the caverns and evading dangerous underground predators with ease. In these primitive times, batfolk were treated as seers, diviners, and shamans who were highly regarded as the most important members of a tribe. While their necessity and importance has waned once the rodentfolk reached the much better lit surface world, batfolk are still highly regarded, having shifted more into a priest caste among the federation and still venerated by the superstitious and religious as favored by the gods.

	* Mousefolk - Mousefolk are the shorter, thinner, and often times weaker residents of the rodentfolk, considered skilled scouts, gunslingers, and menials. Mousefolk tend to travel less, preferring to live in communities they are well known and work within as more humble positions, with a preference for cooking and food related work. Many regard the mousefolk as the best cooks in the world and others speak of their legendary skills with most firearms, but in truth mousefolk often pride themselves most by the communities they live within.		* Mousefolk - Mousefolk are the shorter, thinner, and often times weaker residents of the rodentfolk, considered skilled scouts, gunslingers, and menials.

	* Ratfolk - The tallest and often considered strongest of the rodentfolk, the ratfolk are prone to travel and trade and as widely spread as humans are. Most ratfolk were either part of, actively in, or know others connected to trading through either caravans or the railway lines dotting the world. Ratfolk are so synonymous with trains that it is said that if a ratfolk caravan appears more than once in a town, then a railway is soon to follow.		* Ratfolk - The tallest and often considered strongest of the rodentfolk, the ratfolk are prone to travel and trade and as widely spread as humans are.

Though an outsider might mistake a kerodanfolk for~~ any other ~~rodentfolk, those familiar with~~ their ~~kind can easily spot the differences~~. ~~Kerodanfolk~~, ~~sometimes referred to~~ as ~~cavies~~, ~~tower over their other kind, have small slightly pointed ears~~, and ~~lack tails entirely~~. ~~They are most renowned~~ for their ~~engineering skills~~, ~~making up~~ the ~~backbone~~ of ~~federation artisans~~ and ~~engineers that construct the amazing underground empire the federation calls home.

Unlike most spirit touched or deviants, who can range from merely being members of a race with no distinction at best or treated as unusual pariahs at worse, batfolk hold a position of great prestige among the rodentfolk. In ages past, batfolk were venerated as explorers and guides, able to navigate the subterrean caverns that the rodentfolk once arose from with far greater ease than any other of their race. This talent in pre-history was treated as shamanic magic, venerating batfolk beyond merely explorers and offering them a quasi-priesthood as mystics, seers, and diviners. While the neccessity for their abilities has waned in the modern age, batfolk are still venerated within the religious sects of the rodentfolk and most clans will still pay homage to them in the same traditional rites.

	Humans, you know them and either hate or love them. Humans are one of the most common races among the Onokrin Empire, letting them be known far and wide among all races for better or worse. As a result, humans are highly varied, in both physicality and in body as many humans are considered half breeds or chimerics, making them visually quite unusual in appearance as well as body and mind. All humans share an intrinsic bond to orcs, making them largely interchangeable in many regards. Most consider orcs the brawn and the humans the brains of the empire.

	* Caprinae - The more goat-like of the kaxxis who bear horns and are physically stronger. Caprinae are often considered the most arrogant of all despite their size due to their innate strengths, but compared to the ovinae can be considered less intelligent.

	* Ovinae - The more sheep-like of the kaxxis, who may lack horns and often have shaggier bodies of woolen fur. Ovinae are less arrogant than their goat-like cousins but are physically weaker, having far more accomplished intelligence and thus greater psionic abilities and aptitudes towards artisan work. Most ovinae still work in more menial roles, developing their psionic powers into hypnotic talents to beguile beasts into cattle, protection, or sometimes pets.		* Ovinae - The more sheep-like of the kaxxis, who may lack horns and often have shaggier bodies of woolen fur.

	* Ifrit - An example of kaxxis arrogance, the ifrit are kaxxis born with natural talents towards magic over psionics, granting them exceptional control over natural pyromancy. This talent, similar to salamanders, makes many kaxxis believe that their god in the old legends whose power they absorbed was a dragon they had slain. Aside from trading their supernatural powers for magical, ifrits are similar to most kaxxis and can appear as caprinae or ovinae. They are, however, ~~set apart but~~ often more impressive horns, darker shades of wool and fur such as brown, black, crimson, or any color combination of the three and most glaringly often have eyes that glow like embers. Most note that their draconic similarity makes them exceptionally arrogant, even by kaxxis standards, unless dealing with a salamander who they see as worthwhile cousins and equals.		* Ifrit - An example of kaxxis arrogance, the ifrit are kaxxis born with natural talents towards magic over psionics, granting them exceptional control over natural pyromancy.
