Nearth

Nearth are a race with the same evolutionary base as Humans but with a number of deviations.

Biology
Nearth evolved solely from the ancient neaderthals rather than the Homo Sapiens that Humans can trace their lineage to. Despite their evolutionarily similar roots, Nearth are proportionally different from modern Humans. Both Nearth males and females are exceedingly tale with the males averaging around six feet and the females around seven, both posses stalky, wiry builds. The anatomy of the Nearth is specifically accustomed to their large bodies, with disfigurements such as deformed spines only occuring in exceedingly tall specimens.

Nearth are indeed capable of reproduction with Humans, and the resulting hybrids are often short but without deformities.

History
The Nearth originally developed as a species in the region of Falling Minor and formed nomadic tribes. These tribes migrated north in the wake of the collapse of the Lorris Kingdom. They settled in Eastern Kaitania, and eventually the settlements birthed the Eldarien Empire and Clastonian Empire. The Clasti culture created by the people of the Clastonian Empire has had a lasting effect on all subsequent Nearth civilizations and was among one of the most progressive philosophical and technological cultures, paving the way for the modern day advancements of the Rulasta Empire, which still speaks the Clasti language and uses some elements of the culture.
