====== Introduction ======
The //Sheevra// and [[Veela]] of the [[Alvarin]] clade have lived on the remote continent of [[Urmothar|Urmothâr]] for as long as history recalls, although the name actually means //New Jungle Lands//. The //Sheevra// have a settlement in [[Toxai]] on [[Myrland]], but except for the relations with the [[Khurite|Khurites]] they have very little contact with other //Human// races.

Many //Sheevra// have abandoned the nomadic lifestyle of the //Veela// and now live in permanent, sophisticated cave complexes. Like the //Veela// they are an [[Magic#Animism|animistic]] society which fears and seeks to control [[Gods#Anam|Anam]], the spirits of nature who are believed to be present in all things. The //Sheevra// are known for their power to shape inorganic matter, however the constituents of this ability remain a mystery to most outsiders.

Because of their enigmatic culture and foreign visage //Human// civilizations tend to regard them with suspicion, although their skills in stone and gem crafting are highly valued.

Conversely, the [[Huérgar]] have been known to welcome them into their underground settlements on //Myrland// as part of the //Sheevran// tradition of //Ashtru//—a concept revolving around //"leaving the nest"//, learning a trade, and/or other aspects regarding migration such as moving from one tribe to another. Whether or not this has led to any shared settlements or deeper relations is largely unknown to anyone outside of the underground //Huérgar// and //Sheevra// themselves.

Adapted to survival in the caves of //Urmothâr//, the //Sheevra// are small, lean and incredibly agile people with exceptional mental and sensory awareness.

====== Symbology ======
The //Sheevra// symbol is the //"Growing Rock/Ground"://

{{wiki:symbol_sheevra_color.png?0x300}}

When mirrored with the //Veela// symbol of the //"Growing Plant"// they form a monistic symbol, the //"Essence/Spirit of Growth"://

{{wiki:symbol_essence_of_growth_sheevra_perspective.png?0x300}}

The //Sheevra// use it with the mountain facing up, having the plant being the base—while the //Veela// usually have it reversed with the plant being on top with the mountain acting as a foundation.
