Kardia
The Kardia are a race of humans whose ancestry traces back to the harsh, untamed jungles of the Sal Islands in Natura. Forged by survival in brutal ecosystems, they are among the physically strongest of all races—marked by their resilient skin, razor-sharp teeth, and prominent, intimidating horns.
To ensure the continuation of their lineage in such unforgiving conditions, the Kardia evolved to retain reproductive vitality well into old age. As a result, their hormonal strength slows visible aging, allowing even their elders to maintain a youthful appearance and remain desirable to potential mates.
