List Of Shadow World Races
Common men on Kulthea tend to be smaller and shorter-lived than their High Men brethren. They are composed of myriad of different racial and cultural groups. The following list addresses some of the primary groups found on Emer and Jaiman.
- Anzeti reside in the mountainous regions of central Emer. Hardened by their climate, they are shy and reclusive, isolated, and seldom encountered by other races
- Jaaderi make their homes on the plains of Tai-emer.
- Rhiani are nomadic residents of the desert plains of Uj in southern Emer famous for their horses. A nictitating membrane shows they are either heavily genetically modified or of an entirely different species from other common men.
- Shay are the most numerous human stock, the result of the mixture of many racial sub-groups, that reside in Tai-emer and southern and central Hæstra. As such, their physical characteristics can be quite varied. Groups of Shay who migrated to Jaiman are called Jameri, though they are effectively identical.
- Talath (called Myri in Jaiman) are more powerfully built and taller than most common men, tending to live in agrarian cultures.
- Y’nari have a distinctive appearance in Jaiman and Emer because of their almond-shaped eyes that slant slightly up on the outside, and eyelids with epicanthic folds. While they live in relatively isolated cultures in Emer, they form the majority populations of several other continents.

“Whether changes in the sibling relationship during adolescence create long-term rifts that spill over into adulthood depends upon the ability of brothers and sisters to constantly redefine their connection. Siblings either learn to accept one another as independent individuals with their own sets of values and behaviors or cling to the shadow of the brother and sister they once knew.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
“All the world over, I will back the masses against the classes.”

“Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
