====== Introduction ======
The //Veela// and [[Sheevra]] 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//. Aside from a few futile attempts by the [[Tindremic Empire]] to colonize the land, contacts between the //Veela// and Human civilizations have been sporadic at best.

The //Veela// live as hunter-gatherers and generally group in complex patterns of non-permanent tribes. The tribes often have an underground counterpart among the //Sheevra//. Their animistic society revolves around fearing and controlling [[Gods#Anam|Anam]], the spirits of nature who are believed to be present in all things.

The //Veela// are known for their power to shape organic things, however the constituents of this ability remain a mystery to most outsiders. Because of their nomadic culture and foreign visage many anthropologists consider them to be primitive, and human civilizations tend to regard them with suspicion and sometimes fear.

Adapted to survival in the jungle-like environments of //Urmothâr//, the //Veela// are small, lean and incredibly agile people with exceptional mental and sensory awareness.

====== Symbology ======
The //Veela// symbol is the //"Growing Plant"://

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

When mirrored with the //Sheevra// symbol of the //"Growing Rock/Ground"// they form a monistic symbol, the //"Essence/Spirit of Growth"://

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