The Kitins and the Zoraï

     Before the Great Swarming of Kitins in 2481, the Zoraï believed themselves to be protected from all foreign invasion thanks to their great wall which stretched across their frontiers, as well as by the walls surrounding their towns.
    
    When the first Kitins were reported marching across Tryker lands by guards in their miradors, the order was immediately given to pull up the great syrewood gates. However, the giant insects needed no official invite to enter the jungle lands and literally ploughed through sections of wall before marching on to the temple cities.
    
    What was built as a sanctuary soon turned into a prison of torture as the Kitins literally barged through the north walls. The city walls that once gave protection now constituted a deathtrap, for the main gates were not wide enough for all the multitude of fleeing Zoraï to escape through before the Kitins were even in sight. Moreover, many Zoraï fell in the stampede and were trampled to death even before the Kitins were on them.
    
    Zoraï towns have since been built without walls, and Zoraï have learned new combat techniques to defend themselves against Kitin aggression.
    
    Believing that Ma-Duk created all creatures great and small to form a natural balance within the divine design, the Zoraï have come to accept the Kitins as part of the essence of Atys. Given this 'live and let live' philosophy which promotes coexistence between homins and other life forms native of Atys, Zoraïs will only launch attacks on Kitins if the well being of the community is threatened.
    
    Kitins in the jungle region take on a mottled aspect allowing them to blend in with the vegetation. Their population is relatively low throughout the regions of the Witherings, the safest region being the Cities of Intuition where only kipees are found to roam. In Maiden Grove, in addition to kipees, the traveler will come across the Kizoar, a winged Kitin. Haven of Purity is host to kipees, kizoars, kinchers and kipestas.
    
    The only Kitin nest recorded in the Witherings to date is in Knot of Dementia which was the scene of fierce fighting from 2512 to 2513 when Zoraï and Fyros joined their forces to reduce their numbers. Ever since, the nest, which includes every species of Kitin, has been kept in check.
    
    Kitins found in all other more hostile regions include kipees, kizoars, kinchers and the kipestas, as well as kibans, that collect resources for the colony, patrolling kirostas who protect the colony, and kipuckas, veritable traveling fortresses, that carry resources and larvae from one place to another.
