 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
-Originally a small-time primate, the Gunja originally roamed the wastes of [[wip:planet:sirris_vi|Sirris VI]], thriving from the temperate forests, the fruits and meats they were able to forage and hunt. Fire, an increase in protein intake, brains growing larger. Having appeared as simple animals to [[species:deceiver|Deceivers]], they left Sirris VI with no knowledge of the extent to which the Gunja's intelligence could go. Soon after, the Gunja were a primal and tribal species. However, due to their evoution and their reliance on tools caused their physiology to develop a bit less. A lot of Gunja began dying due to the dangerous flora and fauna present, so they fled into their massive cave system.+Originally a small-time primate, the Gunja originally roamed the wastes of [[wip:planet:sirris_vi|Sirris VI]], thriving from the temperate forests, the fruits and meats they were able to forage and hunt. Fire, an increase in protein intake, brains growing larger. Having appeared as simple animals to [[species:deceiver|Deceivers]], they left Sirris VI with no knowledge of the extent to which the Gunja's intelligence could take them. Soon after, the Gunja were a primal and tribal species. However, due to their evoution and their reliance on tools caused their physiology to develop a bit less. A lot of Gunja began dying due to the dangerous flora and fauna present, so they fled into their massive cave system.
  
 In these caves, without the aforementioned circumstances, the Gunja were able to develop more fully. Their physiology changed, evolving into a lot of loose joints and cartilage. Growth in size, though having a very slender average shape. In these caves, their technological advancements were slow, but present. First, there was metal, then gunpowder. Several sources of primitive fuels that they soon were able to refine. Leading to the creation of vehicles the average Gunja labels as gravecrawlers. Currently, there are countless Gunja villages in the caves, as well as a proportionate number of bandit camps. In these caves, without the aforementioned circumstances, the Gunja were able to develop more fully.

 Gunja economy and culture revolves around the hunt, art, songs of legend, books regaling the heroisms of various hunter-knights. The entire society is concerned with the hunt and romanticises the hunters that partake. There are competitions between various hunters, which only adds to the idolization of the aforementioned. Gunja economy and culture revolves around the hunt, art, songs of legend, books regaling the heroisms of various hunter-knights.

 +From primal age on, the Gunja have been accompanied by other pseudo-human races that didn't make the cut, other tribes and intelligent life. These tales and knowledge have been passed on by tongue. And have become wildly inaccurate. Though, there is one legend that follows a more consistent storyline. [[species:deceiver|The Decievers]], known to the Gunja as starchildren, are regarded as evil and vile. They're considered demons or bad omens in the Gunja's eyes.
  
 Gunja culture is medieval at best, while they have primitive fuel, printing presses and blackpowder, they are not all too advanced and sometimes even considered primal and tribal in their sculptures. Some settlements moreso than the others. The Gunja are very aggressive to outsiders. Gunja culture is medieval at best, while they have primitive fuel, printing presses and blackpowder, they are not all too advanced and sometimes even considered primal and tribal in their sculptures.
