I’m excited to have the first official art of the Dyo! Thank you so much to @yrabril for the work that went into this.
A little bit about the Dyo: The Dyo inhabit the continent of Vanmara. As a people, they rely on magic to live and reproduce, as they don’t reproduce sexually. They are woven into the structure of the world and have some small amount of control of how they’re woven into it. There are 29 kingdoms and four other territories throughout Ladarsil, all populated by Dyo.
Even though they are one race, there are several sub-races of Dyo. The main two are the Isropp (as pictured on the left) and the Namani (as pictured on the right). The difference between them is that they are composed of different ratios of inert versus volatile essence, the Isropp being more inert, and the Namani being more volatile. This makes them more predisposed to different magical skills and places different nutritional requirements on them.
I’ll expand on this at a later date, so keep an eye out! I’ll make a more thorough description here soon and update the Dyo page
