History: The Zivar ruled the island of Zeven for centuries but two hundred years ago human colonists arrived who took advantage of their poor intellect to enslave them. The humans found the Zivar to be competent workers and bid them do intensive manual labour with little reward. The humans extended their rule to the three surrounding islands and spread the Zivar workers around them. They mined in the mountains, hunted for food, fought in gladiatorial battles and generally waited on hand and foot for their masters. They were forced to live in squalid encampments whilst they built cities and monuments for the humans. This changed just ten years ago when a single Zivar denied the humans and raised a rebellion. He was more intelligent and cunning than the others; a new breed. This individual was the now-king, Ga’ap.
It started in Jawr, the islands’ largest city, where the streets ran red with blood and the bloodthirsty Zivar gorged on the meat of humans. The rebellion spread like wildfire to the other islands, where the humans were no match for the physically superior species, made stronger by the labour they had them do. The human presence was crushed within weeks and Ga’ap anointed himself king and ruler of the Zivar.
King Ga’ap found the Zivar easy to temper and bend to his will as the colonists before him had. He was and still is loved among his subjects and rules with an iron fist, over the last decade bringing stability to the Zivar society and developing a military force, hungry for more power and conquest.

Religion: Leviathan – The Zivar believe in an ancient deity who resides in the deep ocean called Leviathan. Leviathan appears as a colossal shark with the power to split oceans and raise terrible floods of fire [lava] and water. The Zivar revere its power and follow its teachings of becoming the strongest and bringing violent rage to those who oppose you.
Population: 51,000
Species FormName: Zivar
Physical Features: The Zivar are an extant species of elves who millennia ago took to the ocean for habitation. This resulted in them adapting sharklike features and amphibious capabilities, able to breathe both on land through lungs and in water through gills. Their gills are located on either side of their neck. Their bodies are typically lean and toned to better streamline themselves, height ranging from 5’11–6’7, with an elongated cranium almost like a seal. Their skin colour ranges from light grey to black and is spongy with muscle to the touch. Their ears are longer and pointed and ridged with cartilage to better detect sound. Their eyes lack pigment and eyelids. Noses are typically sharp for further streamlining. Their teeth are all sharp incisors due to their purely carnivorous eating habits. The Zivar have webbed fingers and feet and a large sharp dorsal fin for swimming. The differences between sexes are akin to humans with similar genitalia and females having breasts.
Other Features: The Zivar sacrificed intelligence for hunting prowess, resulting in a savage society with the strongest at the apex. There is no gender discrimination however as female Zivar can be just as dangerous and powerful as a male.
The Zivar reproduce as a mammal would but give birth in embryonic egg cases. On average, a pregnant Zivar lays one egg per week for a period of two months after a gestation period of nine months.
The Zivar don't have a flag per se, but hang large clumps of kelp from poles smeared with the blood of their dead enemies.
