Viishy

(Zehzhic: Vyyši [ˈvˠɨː.ʂi])

Viishy is the generic term given to all inhabitants of Tuoni/Orya (Z: Örjä [ˈø.rʲa], Öřäh [ˈø.r̝æħ]). This term is usually forgotten in place of “Zehzhic” despite the fact that “Zehzhic” refers to only one ethnic group while Viishy refers to the species as a whole— it's like aliens calling all humans Americans.

Viishy resemble humans from the regions of Sudan–Egypt, Middle East, Eastern Europe, Baltics, Eastern Fennoscandia, Siberia, Korea, and Japan with average heights ranging from 150cm to 220cm depending on (non-human-related) ethnicity. Some have sharper teeth and/or pointed ears or are missing a digit on their hands. Lifespans are typically 250years on the low end but can easily be in the high hundreds or even thousands with some Viishy even being biologically immortal; this however is due to the individual’s aptitude for magic.

The biggest difference between Viishy and humans is that they are able to naturally perform magic (Z: vyħ [vˠɨx]). While humans cannot perform natural magic and instead rely on wands and precharged spells, all Viishy have the innate ability to cast and create spells and most are born with one or two natural abilities which very person to person (but usually are hereditary).

They resemble humans from the specific regions mentioned above since they were created through an event that mutated certain humans in those very regions thousands of years ago. The mutations allowed the newly created Viishy to be able to use magic. At a certain point in history, all Viishy were forcefully removed from Earth (Žeħa [ˈʐɛ.xɐ]) and transplanted onto Orya. The location of Earth was then lost for thousands of years until it was found again in 2073 by an Elensian research team. The Elensians immediately sent out ships to reclaim the “lost homeland”, determining humans to be less evolved and not subject to the same universal rights awarded to the viishy. This led to them destroying many Earth cities, killing humans, and enslaving humans which in turn led to a war between humans and the Viishy as well as a war between the many viishy countries.

Though there might be a few "pedants" on staff at The Missing Slate, one does hope we're not too much like the ones Fry describes here.

The Art of Argument

This is a fun, vibrant design that has a very graphical base. Every sentence has it's own style logical to the narration yet it all fits together as piece.
