Physical description

Abilities
Coming from a cold environment, the Pereginus can control their body temperature.

Culture
The Pereginus are uniquely a constant on almost every land. Even the Rimor, who have long taken to the seas, have a more homogenous culture compared to the Pereginus. However, a few overlaps makes it possible to make it possible to compare. Most Pereginus religions and cultures began with a charismatic warlord from the Great Conquest era, from which many Pereginus begin their historical records. These charismatic leaders tended to gain a powerful cult of personality, which extended long after their death. This has led to the majority of Pereginus to have a very ethnocentric bias, with each convinced their great leader was the one true visionary for the Pereginus peoples.

Secondly, Pereginus tend to have an obession with destiny, and the warrior's job to acheive it. Destiny has always been seen as the greatest motivator for pereginus, and the warrior has and will always be their method of manifesting it. Since the Great Conquest, Pereginus have enjoyed a special privilage of being everywhere. This has been a boon for those who wish to create wide trade networks, while those who fear a second great conquest consider this to be their most threataning trait.

History
In the past the Pereginus were a nomadic people, moving from place to place and using their aetheric abilities to take what they needed. Yakiv, the leader of one of these Pereginus tribes was the first to envision a united pereginus. He spoke of a warrior race conquering the world, spreading the idea that the Pereginus were meant to rule the planet. They trained themselves to better use their aetheric gift, and soon organized into a force to be reckoned with. Finally ready to wage war, entire armies fell to the Pereginus and their great conquest. All legacies have an end though, and when Yakiv died, he left a message of peace. While their future was far from peaceful, the Pereginus had settled, and given up their way of the marauder.
