{{Quote|source = [[Kib the Unkillable]]|Did you know there are Psychic Mantises in my far-off home, the Great City of Insects? They look and behave like Irkima: bookish and logical, with incredible psychic powers and unnecessary hats. They consider my species inferior because we lack mental magics. But our shamans and fire-dervishes are far more effective in battle!}}
=== Myconians ===
Considered unintelligent monsters by some, and folklore by many, the [[Myconian]] race is far more capable than most perceive, since their lack of vocal organs prevents communication with beings of low psychic prowess. In reality, the Myconians have a dispersed empire hidden across much of Alharth. Despite their sentience, craftsmen and merchants pay a premium for Myconian components, primarily {{Item|Myconian Jelly}} or the core of a Myconian, its {{Item|Heartshroom}}. Since they are frequently hunted by adventurers on the surface, Myconians usually keep to themselves in enclaves dispersed throughout hidden cave systems. Myconians absorb energy from glowing blue aminata mushroom and convert this energy into into Myconian Jelly, which is excreted from their bodies. The enclaves stockpile the jelly in large cylindrical storage mushrooms. Storage mushrooms may also contain seeds for farming or Sporelings, future generations of Myconians. Myconians measure time in Moon cycles and seasons.
In recent times, the Myconians of [[Serbule]] have reportedly mastered the art of taming Garden-Tenders. Some speculate this advancement was the result of external influence by [[General Lavorel]].
Individuals with above-average psychic powers conducting research into [[Mycology]] or simply picking wild mushrooms may find themselves being influenced by Myconians. The most common reported experience is learning rudimentary [[Myconic]], said to be the language of the Myconians. Others have reported visions of inconsistent intensity. Interestingly, direct contact with Myconians does not appear to improve skill in this language.
Unexpectedly, Myconians can be turned Undead with Necromancy.
=== Himamanav & Himamanav Deities ===
The [[Himamanav]], often refereed to as Yeti, are a species of [[Giant]] that live in cold climates. Their society is made up of warriors, but also [[Yeti High Priest|High Priests]] that defend and lead worship of the [[Himamanav Deities]].
