The Auhron of Autania have been divided into two factions, by an unknown event in their history known simply as The Divide. One factions lived mostly as normal, although aware of the other.

The others, known as Blanks, or Blank Auhron, stay within heavily fortified cities, known as Keeps by the locals. They seem to follow strict class and heirarchal ranking systems, with the one at the top, only known as The Queen by her subjects. They are defensive and skittish in comparison to the majority of the population, more willing to commit to violent deeds in the name of doing their Queen's Will and serving her.

The sketch below is of a higher ranking Auhron, in typical daily attire. The geometric patterns of their clothing, such as circles, lines, and occasionally squares, coincides with how their structures are built. The only truly non-geometric components of the outfit are the sigil on the broach and the odd shape of the crown, which appears to have similar properties to local stone in which is cannot be carved in such forms.

These Auhron, while mostly based in shadow, can still have incredibly well-defined emotional responses. Although in accordance with the laws that have been seen in enactment, those reactions are typically not welcome.

More information on the Blanks shall be recorded soon - sneaking around these cities is not nearly as easy as it seems, with soldiers constantly patrolling and every white eye peeled for potential misbehaviours.

(OOC: Okay I fucking love their outfit actually. I would like to wear that.

Would I cosplay this fit? 100% would do it. The ONLY reason that I can is that I don't know how to sew. Or where to find appropriately ominous cloaks.)

We have discovered many a new species during our travels! We shall record them here soon, dear fellow travellers, for you all to see.

Isylhejif - A Deep-Sea Gentle Giant

An easy-going, gentle and easily excitable beast who roams the deeper zones of Autania's oceanic biomes, the Isylhejif's flowing fins and vibrant glows are a sight to behold - to anyone who dares to swim so deep.

(Displayed here - artwork of an Isylhejif from a distance, during the Crest season)

Appearance

The Isylhejif is one of the larger oceanic creatures, considered a leviathan by some, scaling in at over 216 meters (706 ft) in length from snout to tail tip. It has two sets of fins, and lures stemming from the ends of each and underneath its jaw.

The Isylhejif often presents its colors as deep shades of blue, the color varying slightly depending on the season. The membranes are primarily a shade of deeper turquoise, and these also rarely vary. It's bioluminescent markings do change color with the seasons - the depiction above is during the Glowcrest season.

It has lures, similar to many aquatic and semi-aquatic creatures of Autania. The beings tail ebbs off into a large, flowy fin, which runs up the length of its neck. It has a bell atop its head, which is a jelly-filled cap that produces poison and secretes it onto the Isylhejif's skin.

Behavior

The Isylhejif lives in a part of Autania's oceans where the bioluminescent light of lunar fern kelp can barely stretch through the dark, and seeing is no longer a reliable way to hunt or navigate the rockier sea-soil clumps. So, Isylhejif rely on musatehkit, echolocation, and sound cues, traveling through the water to find their way around.

While they are larger hunters, Isylhejif are often found in large pods, and are sometimes accompanied by smaller fish and creatures. They enjoy play and games of hide-and-seek, with the younger, more adventurous members of the Isylhejif pods hiding a bit further out into open ocean to challenge each other. They also engage in games of pretend, to help develop skills for hunting later in life.

Musatehkit

Isylhejif produce passive musatehkit (also known as worldsong) displays, and they commonly display Draping Choirs. Draping Choirs are the long notes of the Symphony, echoing low and resonating with those who hear them for cycles after.

(Displayed here - headshot of an Isylhejif, actively singing below water, during changeover from Crest to Echo seasons)

These passive displays often resemble long, thick ribbons of color, flowing in wave-like rhythms across the dark skies or through water. As Isylhejif are passive displayers, when the entire pod is focused and in-tune with the worldsong, beautiful shows of flowing color will trail through the waters behind them. The resonant frequencies of the Isylhejif's notes can typically be felt ringing through one's ribcage if you're close enough to a pod.

World 5000 - Autania

Autania is the furthest from any other worlds, residing just barely on the edge of the habitable universe. This world does not orbit a sun, and all life on this world is bioluminescent to make up for the lack of light. Unlike most of the other worlds in this universe, Autania is not a planet - rather, it is a collection of islands, massive in expanse, and wildly hostile to any life that is not adapted to its extreme environments.

Autania is the final world, yet ironically, of all these worlds was the first one to be made, and it sparked the original idea of having multiple worlds in the first place. It is home to a humanoid alien race known as the Auhron.

This world does not have interplanetary travel developed by its inhabitants. As these inhabitants have no urge to explore beyond their reach, they have no motive to create anything remotely resembling an interplanetary travel vehicle.

Masterpost

Welcome, welcome traveler. Make yourself comfortable.

This is The 5000 Worlds. There are many places here, all of them wonderful and unique. We catalog the beings of these planets here, from the most elegant creatures to the most terrifying; the largest space draconians to the smallest insects.

Make yourself at home, and immerse yourself in whichever bestiary you choose - at least one of them is certain to provoke your interest.

And perhaps, one day, you can help us discover more creatures as well. I'll leave you to it, traveler.

Hiya! This is a blog for my worldbuilding project, and it's a sideblog of @idk-im-just-here-now! I post a lot more regularly on that blog, if you're interested in any of my other content!

I post the artwork in this blog on both my art blog ( @idk-its-just-art-things ) and on my Cara if you want to get a better look at them!

This is all part of an ongoing project that I plan on publishing as a novel series at some point!
