Short Description of Species:
Avintians bear a striking resemblance to humans, though they usually have golden eyes. The most immediately noticeable identifying features are that they have 3 eyes, have 6 fingers, and 3 toes. The third eye is also more perceptive than the other ones, allowing them to use the 3rd eye for things such as seeing in the dark, noticing tiny details, seeing through blinding lights, etc. The Avintians evolved this way due to their home world having a lot of essentials being mostly underground with small bits poking out, and that during the day it is extremely bright, and the night extremely dark. The fingers evolved due to them requiring a stronger grip during early stages of their species in order to retrieve resources that were mostly buried, and the toes due to the land being easily traversal, so they did not really need that strong a grip on the ground.
Short Description of Empire and History:
The prehistoric Avintians appeared around 35 million years ago. The first modern Avintians evolved around 60,000 years ago. At around 55,000 years ago the primitive languages were developed, they used a type of visual language. Around 50,000 years ago, primitive polytheistic religions formed. Around around 45,000 years, oral languages were developed, it was also during this time religion started to become more developed, due to better communication. The Avintians used tribal systems for around 20,000 years. These tribes were similar to a democracy, with the tribe electing leaders, however most of the time one family is continually reelected. After that, tribal-federations formed. These tribal-federations were essentially a primitive form of a republic, with a tribe being elected to lead the federation every few years. Despite the tribes in the federation being technically independent tribes simply in an alliance, they were essentially ruled by the elected tribes. Around 30,000 years ago, hereditary tribes started to appear. For the next 15,000 years, the communication, and travel systems started to become more advanced, but not much else happened. However, 15,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago advanced feudal kingdoms started to form. By around 7,000 years ago, the world was split into 3 major empires, the Empire of Avreu, the Vinetian Supremacy, and the Tusovian Triumvirate, and many smaller petty kingdoms. The 3 empires were in a constant state of on and off war, developing the militaristic nature of Avintians. By 5,000 years ago, the Empire of Avreu was victorious against the Vinetians and Tusovians, and annexed them. By 4,800 years ago the Empire of Avreu was renamed to the Avintus Imperium, combining the names of the 3 old empires. It was also during this time the integration of other cultures began. By now, basically everyone in Avintus identifies as Avintian, and speak a common language.
