Garkin

The Garkin are the indigenous intelligent species of Nighron in the Achlys System.

Society
Garkin society is believed to have remained more or less stagnant for three thousand years. Their ancient traditions and superstitions can be found in its current form dating back as far as one thousand years, although earlier records are nearly impossible to find. Their worship of the swamps that coat their planet themselves, their farming and harvesting of reptilian Stilt-runners, their large multi-generational mega-families, their firefly lamps that dot their villages and their planetary Garkin language are believed to be as old as the species itself.

Even prior to first contact with the Solaran race, the world of Nighron was oddly connected despite their primitive technology and disinterest in exploration. Each identified tribe had at the very least a rudimentary idea of the layout of the entire planet and basic knowledge of civilizations on the other side of the world. This may have been because of the lack of seas, deserts or even mountains in part due to their lack of tectonic plates as well as their genetic disposition towards pacifism likely developed after millions of years with no natural predators.
