| Procreation | Follows the mother with other giants. With other humanoids or pseudohumans, mixed nations people are possible if size permits. |
| Esoterica | Cewri are beings of radiant labor and mijjit. They use the arts of these energies as well as Damaskian powers, other radiance energies, heavenly light, qi, dumaqu, Foundation, hegnh, nommos, aetherial energies, mana, pououmenon, flux, yahas, and kor. |
| Body | Radiant labor and mijjit makes cewri supernaturally large, strong, agile, and resilient. They heal from wounds quicker than other beings. They also have greater endurance. They practice the art of cnoi in order to alter their bodies. Cnoi involves diet and exercise. They eat a mixture called haul, which is cow's milk, sheep fat, and beer. They also engage in exercises that include pushing weights 100 miles per week, lifting 500 lbs. three times per day, carrying 100 lb. weights for 100 miles per week, and stretching for two hours every night. The most common bodily modifications are to be more attractive to each other. |
| Farming | A gawr's farm is a large affair with barley, wheat, rapeseed, sheep, goats, and cattle. They also keep chickens, pigs, and dogs. All of their crops and livestock are larger than normal. They innately know how to care for their crops and livestock. |
| Special Powers | As well as having supernatural size, strength, agility, resilience, endurance, body shifting, and farming skills, cewri are stronger in groups. They gain power as they work together and form bonds that connect them emotionally, allowing them to sense the needs of the others empathically. |
| Weaknesses | Msawhat harms them. |
| Culture | Cewri live in worker-led societies. Every major occupation has a representative in the council that runs their country, and this council elects a leader who serves two years as the head of the council. The largest occupations are farmers, miners, smiths, weavers, caretakers, teachers, and musicians, but every occupation (or group of occupations) has represetatives numbered based on how many there are of them. Management may not partake in elections or collectives. Children are raised by their families in cewri society, attending a community school after they are five years old. They are allowed to start working at the age of 16, at which time, they begin training for their specific careers. If they decide they do not like their chosen occupation, they simply go train for another. They reach adulthood at the age of 20, during their last growth spurt. If they don't get their last growth spurt, they force it through collective ceremony. At adulthood, they become full members of their worker collective, gaining all rights of a worker in society. They may run for office, vote, or switch jobs and collectives when they please. All genders are recognized and respected among the cewri. Courtship is centered around casual dating. Cewri sometimes marry for life-long or long-term partnerships but not always. Many relationships are open and relationships who do not get married are still recognized by the councils. All workers celebrate personal feasts in their lifetimes: birth, matriculation, first occupation choosing, adulthood, first child, and any personal victories, like winning an election or a new job. The cewri have four major festivals every year: election day (midsummer), the job fair (new year's), harvest, and the first day of spring. |
