Yeu

The wild spirits

Also known as mountain spirits or evil spirits. But it is politically incorrect. It is loosely taken to be made up of all the intelligent mortal races which are not human and not human-like enough. The categorization is based more on looks than any real reference to good or evil, though it is true that most of the races here are not friendly towards the humans.

Jin, Nin and Yeu all belonged to the mid-levels of existences on The Wheel of Life, above the Sheu but below the Lin.

The term mountain spirits probably arised to reflect the fact that most of its member races lived in the more mountaineous regions, though this is not true for certain members.

The Bindings of Space

As with all mortals, they are bound by space. Except for a few special cases, they cannot shape-shift like the Lin above them on the Wheel.

The Bindings of Time

They are bound by Time and will age and die. Most Yeu races have approximately the same or shorter lifespans than the human. But there are exceptional cases that lived as long as some of the Jin.

Main Members

The main members of this category is made up of several variants of goblins, the bovine people (minotaurs), the marsh people (trolls), the tiger people (present Ka Po'Tun), the monkey people (present Tang Mo) , the snow people (present Kamal) and a wide variety of other races.

members:

• Palagaja, the elephant folk
• Vyaagragana, the tiger folk

Misc

Due to the fact that the middle levels of The Wheel of Life is made up of the three major groups Jin, Nin and Yeu, the races in the three groups, as well as their domains, are often called The Three Realms, or simply the mortal realm.
