Inannan
Inannans are female-assigned beings who come from the southeastern continent. They appear to be human women with the normal range of human skin and hair color; however, they change forms in the morning and evening. If they merge with enough people, they gain a form known as their supernal form. Their morning and evening forms are simply hominid forms with different coloration. Their supernal form gains extra arms, rainbow flesh and hair, an aura of light, extra eyes, and wings.

Inannans are empowered by love. Different kinds of love give them different powers. To gain power from love, they must not only experience it, but seal it into their hearts. They do this by merging with a person with whom they share that emotion (temporarily) via an embrace, a touching of hands, or a deep shared gaze.

Inannans were brought to Endruin as sex slaves. There are no free inannans in Endruin; they are automatically enslaved. Some hide their true being, living in secret, while others live openly in defiance. Some simply live as slaves, and others live in hiding, working with resistance groups. Most are trying to find ways to escape, however.

Coming from a complex culture where politics and magic were extremely advanced, they are skilled at manipulating and opposing those who have enslaved them. Therefore, there are strict rules about debilitatng them when they are enslaved. Being that many in the ruling class of Endruin are not attracted to women, they are often sold to other empires.

Those who remain in Endruin are often isolated, but they can recall the culture of their homeland. They respect a wide variety of genders, worship their Beloved Divine, recall the intricate rules of their society, have strong feelings about vengeance, respect the seasonal rituals, honor the sun and moons, remember the work of the farms, know how to work poplar and willow wood, know how to make libation cakes, make hook-shaped knot symbols for their homes, recall the hymns, the drum music, and the stories of their people, know the special outfits worn for formal occasions, and have the skills they were raised with, including combat, magic, and politics.
