Ferrus/ Furrus/ Ferus/ Furus Civilizations:
The wild beast-people or fur-men known as Ferrus, Furrus, Ferus, Furus, Ferys, Furys, Furos, Feros, Pherus or Phurus by Human, Indoles and Pumilio while they themselves call their kind Frrs despite being savage, brutal barbarians, still have their own culture, traditions and religions. They can be distinct by a number of thing,s first were they live, as Surface Ferrus,
Srfcfrrs living in small homes and huts, while the Cave Ferrus,
Cvfrrs living in underground caves and tunnels or abandoned Pumilio mines, towns or cities sometimes even in own build underground towns and cities. Their name comes from ancient Human, Indoles and Pumilio words that depending on the sentence can have different meanings; strong, wild, iron, barren, hard, brutal, furry, beast, waste, animal, desert and most of this are attributes or prejudice that Ferus are described with as well. The more southern someone goes to the arctic regions of the Endless Ice, the more Ferus have thicker and longer fur and the more northwards some goes, the shorter and lighter their fur becomes. These most southern Ferus are known as Fuzzy Ferus or
Fzfrrs in their own tongue, while the most northern Ferus are known as Bald Ferrus, or
Bldfrrs as some of them in tropical regions have nearly no fur at all or at least one that is so small and thin that it is no longer visible, making their skin rather Human if not outright Pumilio looking. Some of this Ferus living in hotter climate regions are rather Runt Ferrus, or
Rntfrrs who'se fur and skin looks kind of like human as it was weak and they sometimes even had bald spots across their bodies. They look similar to Fur-man/ Fer-man half-human, half-ferus hybrids but are a completely different breed. Closely like this Fur-man or
Frrmn Rntfrrs are the
Frrpmlo, half-pumilio, half-ferus and
Frrndls, half-indoles, half-ferus. This hybrid species can vary vastly in look and percentage of how much of them if Ferrus and how much of them is Human, Indoles or Pumilio, so much that some of them even are used as spies, infiltrators or assassin inside non-Ferus societies and states.
While Frrmn were breed to better fight humans or trick them, Frrndls were breed to fight the Indoles, skilled in using and weaponizing everything in forests and jungles, while also burning and destroying them to annihilate everything the Indoles liked and stood for. Overall Ferus are rumored to be created as the counterpart to Indoles to wipe them, Humand and Pumilio of the face of this world. Still some humans in the Empire of Amra, the Sanfan Dynasty or those living in smaller groups nearby or close to Ferus have also interbreed with Ferus, sometimes forcefully, sometimes on their own creating their own hybrid groups that are seen as outsiders, slaves and servants at best by Ferus, Humans, Indoles and Pumilio alike. Nearly all Ferus however have a large group of males (Bor) as hunters and warriors, while the females (Sow) are gatherers and have between four to six children, sometimes even eight to twelve. Romance, consent and deeper feelings are foreign concept to most Ferus, even if they form close relationships inside their clans and groups. The so called Ferus Language, Ferrus AmgliS is a crude mixture of Ompo (Ontry-Mici-Pnslvna-Oio) AmgliS, the Ontry (Ontario) AmgliS, Mici (Michigan) AmgliS, Oio (Ohio) AmgliS and Pnslvna (Pensilvania) dialects of Humans, Indoles and Pumilio they had enslaved underneath them. Ferus own language, known as FrrS was a more grunted language hard to learn for non-Ferus, similar to how Ferus had a hard time learning other languages because of their tusks. A weak, small and tiny yes coward kind of Ferus breed is known as Slave Ferus or
Slvfrrs known to serve all other kinds and so weak minded that they even follow and do the bidding of other creatures as long as they demand it in a commanding tone and are slightly more intelligent then them. Mountain Ferus or
Mntfrrs were a kind of Cave Ferrus that specialized in Mountainous areas, while Hill Ferus or
Hlfrrs lived mostly in hilly terrain.
Bygfrrs, or Big Ferus refers to a special large and strong breed of Ferus, often similar looking to half-Ferus in size but much stronger, even more so then normal Ferus are compared to the weaker half-Ferus. Very much like them but even more massive are the Giant Ferus, or
Gntfrrs a breed that is not only a head or two larger like the Bygfrrs but often double or triple the size and height of normal Ferus. Sometimes these giants are leaders of smaller Ferus, but most often their lack in intelligence what they have in strength and serve their smaller kind as soldiers and slaves. Blackguard Ferrus, or
Blkgrdfrrs also known as Guard Ferus,
Grdfrrs once had been a special breed of warriors, later their own clan, before involving into their own subgroup. Once quit massive and muscular strong only few of them still represent this ideal and most have become massive and fat instead as not all of them are used as hunters and warriros anymore. They still remained their massive appetite leading to them to not only constantly eat Humans, Indoles and Pumilio like on their raiding and hunts, but other Ferus inside their own groups too, over time turning their kind rather fat and slow.
Most Ferus however have brown to black fur and skin, only some local groups and clans have other variations, including red, gray, blonde and even white and greenish fur and skin color, often depending on the regions they lived in. Still overall the Ferus could be divided rather good into overall Ferus Civilisations that shared the same customs, culture, rites, traditions, regional languages and religion. The map thereby shows the extension of this Ferus civilization groups inside the Continent of Amra, known to the Empire of Amra either directly or indirect. It should be noted that information about Ferus in Knda in the southwest, Mxka in the north or Alska in the southeast are non existent, even if some of them might live in these regions as well.
1 AMRANIAN FERUS, also known as South Amranian Ferus could be found in the South of the Amranian Empire, the Kingdom of Adriondak and the Indoles Forest Kingdom alike, as well as partly in the regions of the Grand Duchy of Filadelfia, the Kingdom of Bostn and the Iron City of Nujok. They are Ferus that either had lived here before and had survived in small groups in remote areas, or were remnants of former Ferus raiding parties from across the Apalatʃɛn Mountains/r Apalatʃɛn Wall/ Aepəlætʃɪnz Mountains/Aepəlætʃɪnz Wall that had been slaughtered and now lived in small groups of thieves and robbers, ambushing travelers and others that crossed their path, while mostly hiding otherwise or returning across the Mountain Wall back into Ferus lands. They mostly have smaller groups and often use whatever they could find or steal even in terms of armor and weapons.
2 ORDO FERUS, or Northern Amranian Ferus that are much like the Amranian Ferus or South Amranian Ferus, but have connections to the Dark Land of Nuorlinz, this means they often have more shamans, shadow mages, stellar mages, necromancers, bone mages and dark magic users in their ranks. Mostly Hill Ferus like their more Southern Cousins they also lived in thicker forests and swamps up in the north of the Order Kaibea, the Duchy of Gogija, the Duchy of Floria and the Duchy of Albma. To raid and move in this coastal regions or most northern swamps This meant that they sometimes even used rafts, small boats or even ships along the coastline or in the swamps, often individual Ferus groups were even living upon them to be more secure from the Order Knights that ruled this Amranian territory. Sometimes these Ferus even used real ships and raided the Karibiean Sea islands like Bajamar, Kba, Hti or Jamka. Therefore they were rather short haired Ferus to better fit into the tropical climate.
3 RED FERUS, also known as Apalatʃɛn or Aepəlætʃɪnz Ferus mortal enemas of the people living along the Ferus Marca as well as in the Indoles Kingdom and Pumilio Kingdom along these borders. Most of them live underground where they fight the deep cities of their Pumilio enemies or assault Indoels Forests from the surrounding Mountains. While the Apalatʃɛn Wall/ Aepəlætʃɪnz Mountains are officially the border wall and fortifications along these mountains seperating the Empire of Amra from the East, this borders aren't as clear underneath this mountains and hills, where Ferus, constantly raid and battle Humans, Indoles and Pumilio to gain control of the region. The Ferus here are especially skilled in fighting, even craft their own armor and weapons like in the Ferus Lands nearby and are known to have not only a breed of many different Ferus, but half-Ferus alike under their banners. The name Red Ferus relates to the fact that rather many of them have red, reddish or orange instead of purely brown or dark skin, as well as to their beastly brutality to slaughter whole towns and cities. They are made up by smalelr Clans and Tribes that sometimes rival one another as well as they do the Humans, Indoles and Pumilio.
4 Ferus Land Ferus, or Ferusans the most successful of the Ferus clans and tribes that have managed to conquer a few smaller Human, Indoles and Pumilio Kingdoms, Duchies and free city-states now forcing them to work underneath them and supplying them with everything their warrior hearts could need. Most numerous and best equipped two things stop these Ferus from subduing most of Western and Central Amra, their own growing decadence to the easy and sweet lifestyle of having Human, Indoles and Pumilio slaves do nearly everything for them and their own Clan rivalries among one another ever since their greatest leader died centuries ago and his sons had formed their very own dynasties, kingdoms and chieftains out of his former unified Ferus Kingdom. Because of this they wait for the Clan Leader that would unite them once again and lead them to conquer all of Amra from the weaker species and races.
5 Lowland Ferus, living mostly in the Princedom of Berniam and the Kigndom of Nail and nearby regions, were their small warbands raid and put both human regions under constant threat to be annexed and conquered ad the next parts of the nearby Ferus dominated and ruled lands. Most Ferus here use mounts or their own food to travel the hills, grasslands and forests, one of the reasons the two rivaling local human domains are so famous for their warriors, hunters, skilled guards and knights alike. Most of the Ferus here live atop or in hill towns in smaller clan and raiding groups, often times even nomadic to ensure that the patrols and armies of the two human kingdoms don't easily find and annihilate them all. To counter their fast patrols these Ferus have very untypically specialized in ranged fighting and trapping instead of direct, brutal melee confrontations like most Ferus do. A constant flow of new Ferus from the nearby Ferus dominated lands, mostly young warriors and hunters in search for prestige, glory and fame ensures, that the Lowland Ferus remain a constant threat for the non-Ferus states in the region.
6 Darkland Ferus, those Ferus that have allied themselves with the Humans of the Dark Land of Nuorlinz so they both can subdue, enslave and slaughter nearby regions. Well equipped and skilled in all kinds of Dark Magic and Traditions, like the dark skinned humans, this Ferus are even more brutal and savage then others, praying to the evil God of the Underworld their human allies also pray to, even if some Ferus gods and ancestors are seen as his allies or servants alike. They form a state of their own within the dark state and rule a few cities and towns directly. Their aggressive brutal raids to the nearby races, species and states are legendary and nearly all of these try to weaken these neighbors for the continued conquest and expansion of Nuorlinz, especially westwards towards Amra were the Order Kaibea, the Duchy of Floria and the Duchy of Albma are regions the Nuorlinz had once ruled and enslaved before the Amranian Template, the Holy War that drove them back east to their current domain. The Darkland Feus are generally of a stronger breed then others, often have red and black fur, skin and tattoos or colors on them or their armor and weapons and are known to ritually eat Human, Indoles, Pumilio and even other Ferus to honor their dark god. Quit a few of them while no magicians themselves at least participate in Blood Magic and Dark Magic rituals to gain the skills and strength of fallen enemies they feast upon.
7 Blonde Ferus, also known as Tundra Ferus or Taiga Ferus are a light colored fur and skin type of Ferus, often blonde, gray sometimes even completely white that live partly nomadic in the cold region directly close to the Endless Southern Ice were they raid nearby Human, Pumilio and Indoles settlements and towns and hunt wild animals or horrific beasts of this lands alike to survive. Seen as quit exotic they differ not to much from normal Ferrus and are still higly paid for as Gladiators or exhibition pieces for Beast Zoos or rich Amranians, as well as Biologists who are quit fascinated by them. A few of them even have Red Fur, but they are a small minority. Normal Brown or Black Fur meanwhile is nearly uncommon among this Ferus groups and clans. Unlike many Ferus however they hunt and gather as much as they raid and plunder, making them able to fully rely on themselves and not only robbed or subdued regions in the harsh months of winter in these regions. They are among the few Ferus who actually skin and use other animals fur as additional warm clothes above their own, even if they already have rather thick and long fur themselves.
8 Mzpi and Plain Ferus, or Misisipi Ferus also known ad River Ferus and
Mzpifrr are those Ferus that live in along the Msip River and terrorize the County of Arkensow and the Empire of Seintlous. They often would travel the rivers as well and raid merchant ships, while also trying to avoid the bigger patrol and warships of Arkensow or the steam powered ships of Saintlous. Housing partly on the riverbanks and with, yes inside the river these Ferus had a unique style of living were they were as much hiding in constant hideouts as they were ambushing and relocation to new areas whenever the situation needed them to do so. Part of them also lived as raiders, riders and nomads in the Great Plain, the so called
Plnfrr or Plain Ferus that often are mounted to hold up with the other mainly nomadic, tribal and traveling groups of the Great Plains. They are well known and feared for their swift and fast attacks and retreats before any reinforcements or help could even be alerted and often watch from tall hills and mountains the movements of their targets over great distances to find the ideal spot for a ambush upon them.
9 Tejas Ferus, arch enemies of the Empire of Tejas that are however much less of a pain then their great regional expansion at first suggests. The Tejan Gunners use their skill and modern powder based explosives, rifles and guns to inflict heavy damage upon the Ferus and other enemies even from a distance. This has allowed the Tejans to keep not only the Dark Land of Nuorlinz at bay, but the local Tejas Ferus too. Part of these Ferus had adapted and learned to use their own version of this weapons too, either stolen ones, or their won creation upon bows, crossbows and other weaponry to compensate for the range-advantage the Tejan Human, Pumilio and Indoles otherwise had most of the time. Tejan Ferus also have learned that they can withstand much more bullets and arrows then the weaker Human, Indoles and Pumilio and that compared to their bows and thrown spears these gunpowder based guns and rifles either lack range or accuracy. This is what allows the Tejas Ferus to still pose a threat and danger to this lands despite their technological inferiority.
10 Grand River Ferus, or Grnd Rvr Ferus, or River Ferus live in between a few northern Tejan river areas, known to the locals as Redfurs or Brownfurs because Red and Brown were the main colors of these aggressive Ferus clans and tribes. Because the Tejans mainly were well armed and skilled fighters, these Ferus lived from the Humans, Indoles and Pumilio they had subdued in the region and raided the northern desert tribes of Humans, Indoles and Pumilio as well as those posed no danger or resistance to them at all. Because of this many Ferus however viewed them as cowards and so the River Ferus had started raids and border skirmishes with the Tejans once again,e specially after more and more Tejan settlers entered their territories and began to build small farms and towns, only to be raided by the River Ferus and either robbed, enslaved or eaten. Their overall problematic situation made worse because of the nearby Cyanyan Ferus that lived in the northern desert.
11 Cyancyan Ferus, also known as Desert Ferus are a group of Ferus who are nearly without fur and hair. Having specialized themselves to live in the harsh northern desert that separated Amra from the jungles and jungle states of Mxko, they raided and enslaved nearby Human, Pumilio and sometimes even Indoles desert tribes. A century ago parts of their tribe had traveled northwards trough the massive desert, but never returned, nor were they ever heard from again. Rumors have it that they battled and fought some Human, Indoles and even a few Pumilio jungle states, but other legends tell about how they all had been killed either trough thirst and hunger, or enemy desert tribes raiding them along their way. Other tales say they had become the first Mxko Ferus and managed to subdue some of the jungle states underneath them so that the Humans, Indoles and few Pumilio there now were their servants and slaves. They were rumored to have brown, green, gray and black fur and skin.
12 Snrn Ferus, also known as northeast desert Ferus live in the desert river valleys of the northeast, often in enclaves that were partly separated from one another and only had a loose contact. They often fought Bajacal and Noroeste Humans, Indoles and Pumilio alike, as well as the Realm of Veiges and the Empire of Andgeles. Living in deserts, hills and mountains they are a tough breed of Ferus that isn't afraid of raiding even the strongest nearby Human, Pumilio and Indoles domains before retreating back to the safety of their own valleys, hills and mountains outside their reach. Sometiems these Ferus also raid the Bajacal peninsula tribes and it's coastal waters with small rafts or boats, but nearly never use bigger ships that could go out in the open Eastern Ocean itself.
13 Cntrl Vly Ferus, Central Valley Ferus, Central Ferus, Valey Ferus or Sanfan Ferus are the main Ferus culture on the East Coast of Amra that stretched from the main coastal, river and valley region there up into the mountain ranges. Because of this the Ferus living here vary greatly in their form of living, their numbers and overall culture. Some were rather primitive and savage, fighting the Backbone/ Rky and Sra Mdr Pumilio in the mountains, while come on the river valley actually had become tributaries and mercenaries of the Sanfan Empire and now fought for the Humans ruling it. Like most eastern, Pcfk or Occidental Ferus, unlike the Western, Atlentic Coastal ones, this Ferus had dark fur and much smaller eyes, close to that of the Humans, Indoles and Pumilio who lived in the region. Some of these Ferus have interbreed with local Humans, Indoles and Pumilio, often partly willingly or on orders of the Sanfan Emperor and created new hybrid groups living among them and even within nearby Human, Pumilio or Indoles towns and cities.
14 Rvrses Ferus, or River and Seas Ferus that lived in the wast sea and river-lands of eastern Amra were known for their skills in building and using small boats and ships they would craft out of the massive trees of this mountain and hill regions alike. Unlike many Ferus they were not only hunters on land, but true fishers and most of them lived rather upon these massive seas and rivers in swimming towns and farms rather then on the nearby land were wild and aggressive Indoles, Pumilio and even a few Human Kingdoms posed a constant threat for one another. But even those Ferus that lived in the valley in between these hills and mountains were in constant warfare against their neighboring domains and one another, just like all Humans, Indoles and Ferus in the region were.Sometimes they would follow the rivers elsewhere, even raiding the Holy Kingdom of Juta, the Republic of Seatel, the Kingdom of Oregen or other regions outside their original homelands. Most of the time however they also raided one another as much as their non-Ferus neighbors. Some of these Ferus have rather green instead of only brown or black fur and skin.
15 White Ferus, Ice Ferus, Southern Ferus are just a few of the named the locals have given those Ferus, who live in the Southern Endless Ice. Their Fur is completely white as is their skin underneath and because of a lack of resources and even people to raid these southern Ferus often provided for themselves or even formed strange alliances with the animals, monsters like ice golems and other creatures that lived in the cold and endless southern ice. Sometimes they served them for protection, but this often meant that they had to help feed these massive creatures as well often making their live even harsher then it already was down here. Out of all known types of Ferus they have the longest and thickest fur to keep them warm in this cold climate. Their numbers like those of Humans, Indoles and Pumilio alike living in this southern endless ice however are rather numbered and their clans, tribes and war-bands are among the fewest of all known Ferus. Food and other resources are so sparse here in the south, that these Ferus ritually and traditionally ate half of their children to preserve resources and in hopes that their gods would in return welcome their sacrifice and give them more food during the coming hunts.
16 Karibean Ferus, a group of Northern Ferus with much less fur, often rather short fur overall that live in the islands of the Karibean Sea. They often do not wear any armor and use no metallic weapons except those they could find or rob. Mainly closed in lioncloth these Ferus are even more primitive then the average ones, suggesting that those on the main continent have been learning from Humans, Indoles and Pumilio over the course of their existence. They often tame and sometimes even ride wild jungle beasts and are quit a match for the equal primitive and simple Human, Indoles and Pumilio on most of these islands as shown that the Bajamar have nearly no infestation of them on their islands. Trying to raid and pirate nearby ships or islands, these Ferus only use the simplest of primitive wooden and stone tools and wouldn't it be for their strength and large numbers they would pose no treat at all. Occasionaly they serve dark gods and spirits that help them survive in harsh jungle conditions of those northern islands and some of their shamans are quit powerful in animistic, blood magic, dark magic or shadow magic alike. With food and other resources like wood in large quantities, these Ferus breed quit strong, but mostly live in wooden houses on the surface, or small earth homes like Pumilio in Hills do, so that their hideouts are often easy to spot even if they know how to camouflage themselves during hunting with leafs, roots and mud quit excellent.
17 Katan Ferus, Ferus that live on the Uktn Peninsula, rather similar to the Karibean Ferus, but much more advanced and skilled in building stone cities and temples, as well as creating sharp and deadly weapons out of teeth, volcanic stones and other items. These Ferus whiled larger armies to raid even bigger human towns and cities and engage them in direct battles like the Ferus from the Ferus lands do with their neighbors. Frequently these Ferus go on so called Feeding Wars, were their sole purpose and goal is to catch Human, Pumilio and Indoles prisoners so they can eat them as they unlike their neighbors are quit bad at growing farms, plantations and life stock of their own. This had lead to the creation of walled fortifications around some of this Ferus city-states with the sole purpose to keep them in check and prevent further raiding and attacks by them.
18 Mxka Dsrt Ferus, those Ferus living in the Mxka desert and savanna regions, mainly in nomadic, tribal societies that raided traders trying to pass trough the deserts and savanna, as well as those living nearby it in wild, swift and aggressive raids that made them feared throughout those lands. These Ferus lived in a close relationship with their also furred beasts of burden they also used as mounts. These Ferus often use the cover of the night for their attacks to prevent the heated sun and dryness of the desert dunes, which is why they have a more pale, almost grayish skin and thick, but short fur, making them look like Ghosts or Demons of Ferus to some and inspire rather horrifying legends and myths about them that even top the brutality of most normal Ferus.
19 Jlsko Ferus, sometimes called Coastal, or Ocean Ferus. Ferus living at the Eastern Okean of Mxka, were they raid the coasts by land ans sea, but are otherwise rather enclosed in their valleys and plateaus from nearby mountains controlled by their enemies. To prevent them from endangering nearby areas the local Humans, Indoles and Pumilio have formed defensive alliances against them, where they gather their strength and forces to fight unified, whenever this Ferus show up to raid neighboring regions, no matter what kind of mistrusts or problems they might otherwise have among one another. This also allows them to build a few fortifications and castles along certain mountain passes to ensure these Ferus and their movements are either blocked or closely watched when heading out of their directly controlled regions.
20 Mxka Mntn Ferus, is a term for Ferus gorups living in the jungle and mountainous lands alike were they regularly fight against the city-states of rivaling Humans, Indoles, Pumilio and ferus alike. Very territorial, war-like and aggressive these Ferus not only muster larger armies like those in the Ferus lands, they actually are rumored to be quit skilled in tactics and strategies, no matter if during a hunt, raid or war. They even manage to form contracts with those around them, so called tribute-peaces where they don't raid certain other city-states and towns in exchange for specified tributes, a rather singing form of extortion that also prevents a unified alliance or coalition of surrounding Human, Indoles and Pumilio city-states against them. Their fur is rather short and they sometimes even cut it even further against the heat of the jungles, but let it grow again once they raid or live in the more higher up, cold mountain areas.
A few Ferus however served other dark gods and demons, but these small cults and sects often composed of only a single clan and tribe, sometimes not even that and were so far and few in between that they were nothing but a very small, but aggressive, feared and powerful minority even among other Ferus. Often these Ferus hoped to gain powerful beasts, demons or alliances out of this deals, pacts and magic rituals, sometimes these groups even consisted of a Ferus necromancer or dark mage and shadow mage, as a shaman and magician that had resurrected fellow Ferus but often also resurrected Humans, Indoles and Pumilio alike to fill the ranks of his raiding war-band and group so he could subdue and rule others for his own lust for power. Often these poor Ferus did not realize that the dark gods, demons, ghosts and other horrifying, monstrous creatures they allied and served with used them as their servants and not the other way around.
