Anitou

The Anitou are the mystical first people of Kab, yet most have either so mingled with the Pentarexians that they have lost their mystical heritage but for the faintest sense of difference or they have retreated far the south into the spirit jungles which exist as some sort of mysterious plane that crosses with this one, existing in both. There are a few, however, who seek to bring balance back to the world and have traveled by will of spirits greater than them to fellowship with the other races who will believe in a common cause, for the possibility of darker times lurks threateningly on the horizon. These are the Skinshifters who commune with nature for the gift of its power and protection and know the art of taking on other forms.
