Lithidarians

 It is widely believed that the Lithidarians were the first race to come into sentience as they arguably have the oldest cities in the world and their scriptures date even further back. However most academic scholars believe the Lithidarians were the earliest race to gain sentience and survived as there is some evidence that supports the sentient races before the Lithidarians who have gone extinct. However many still refer to them as the first race. This is usually used as a figure of speech rather than meant to be literally true, referring to Lithidarians being the earliest race born and survive. The Lithidarians are masters of their domain, having evolved and thrived in the harsh environment of the Corine desert. They evolved along side the Corisians and the two races share a common ancestor and in fact look largely identical. Lithidarians have some key differences from Corisians however that make them a distinct race. Lithidarians have a much longer life span, over double the average life span of a Corisian. The Lithidarians also have over triple the natural physical strength of a Corisian. However the Lithidarian birthrate pales in comparison to the Corisian race, for every 1 Lithidarian there are 4 Corisians.

Lithidarian culture is typically quite conservative due to the scarce resources and unforgiving environment their race has had to manage since the birth of the civilization. They are also very spiritual, usually calling upon their many gods to bless them with enough food and strength to survive each season. In later ages, Lithidarian culture began evolving around the sea as they were one of the first sea-faring races. Their navy has a reputation for being the strongest in the world and the only navy able to match the Turpens.
