Xiruen

The towering giants of Omneutta most easily recognized by their four arms, tall stature, or the horns that most sport on their foreheads.

Xiruen were created mostly by Aster after Extiru complained he did not have a species made in his image, unlike each of the other Deities. Since they were created more recently than other species and without any specific purpose, they were largely left to their own devices by their paternal deity Extiru.

Xiruen are mostly organized into societal groups called Realms that can span multiple planet-stars or be as small as a single community where there is little to no familial structure remains, though there is evidence it existed at one point. More ritualistic than spiritual, Xiruen put their faith in superstitious actions that produced at least non-negative actions as across The Outcropping that is considered a victory. They can be hostile to those defined as outsiders, which can even include other xiruens.

The species mostly eats reptile meat, as growing crops in the harsh environments across The Outcropping proves to be quite difficult. To this end, many Realms raise Unee, a large relatively docile reptile with a muscular and fatty tail. Despite all the challenges of their environments, Xiruen grow to be quite large and are on average the tallest and heaviest of all Sentient Species, standing at over 2.5 m. (8’ 4”). They have four arms of which the top pair are generally shorter, though there are some racial differences most easily differentiated by their head shapes. Xeviin (pn. saeh-vihn) have rounded heads, large eyes, and longer straight necks stemming from living further inside rocks for generations, while Xemgen (pn. saehm-gaehn) have a more conical head, small eyes, and Xegoir (pn. sah-goyr) are a mix of the two and have the shortest horns.
