This is a primary species from my Nodr project (there are two). The important thing to know about the Amae is that 99% of them die at age 20 or so from a genetic disease, and only a few are resistant to it; these individuals can live to be 100 years old or more. Their entire culture has adapted to this disease, working as a tribe to raise families and learning to deal with death. The Amae are nomadic pastoralists who herd livestock across the tundra throughout the summer, staying in the taiga during the cold winter months. Their culture is based on storytelling and memory; they also have a bizarre cultural fondness for seals.

I must say, I really adore your talent for design and, well, lack of a better word but just creation of worlds and races in general. It’s inspiring and a little daunting at the same time.
FFFF OTTERS.
OT.
TERS.
On the more articulate side, you are really creative. The disease thing is such an original idea, and their features are super neeeeeeet. World building is definitely one of your talents.
