(alt spellings: Eee, Ee, E) The Eeee are plantigrade, bat-like humanoids with short bodyfur, large ears, head hair, human-like eyes, and a pair of wings sprouting from behind the shoulders. The Eeee are noted for their exceptional hearing, able to navigate in total darkness by a sort of "sonar", hearing the echo of their own voices off of objects. Eeee noses vary greatly, but due to interaction with outsiders and the aesthetic preferences of other species, the sort of large and grotesque noses often associated with mundane bats are considered less desirable, and magical genetic manipulation over time has made such features less common. (Most Eeee look more like the "flying fox" variety of bat insofar as facial features go.) However, they are also very fragile and often weak as far as most races of their size go, so they are not generally very impressive in hand-to-hand combat. Most Eeee consider the Ashdod Territories -- especially the city-state of Babel -- to be their homeland. However, a sub-strain of vampiric Eeee (often bearing obviously magic-influenced mutations, such as glowing red eyes) can be found in the Nordikan region of Sylvania. While most Eeee are omnivorous (having a diet high in bugs and fruits), the vampiric Eeee subsist off of blood ... and are often looked upon with disdain by their non-vampiric Eeee "cousins". There is also a distinct sub-strain of "fruit bat" Eeee in the now independent state of Saskanar (formerly part of the Ashdod Territories). A very common mutation to be found in this region is that Eeee are born with arms and wings fused together, rather than having separate wings. "Saskanar Eeee" may either refer to bats who exclusively eat fruit, who come from the territory of Saskanar, or who have the "Saskanar Mutation". "Eeee" also refers to a language (also known as Babelite) widely used by the race of the same name, particularly in Ashdod. (Sylvanian Eeee tend to speak Sylvanian instead.) This language, while it can be pronounced at a rudimentary level by other races, utilizes tones that are outside of the hearing range of many other species (and their ability to emulate). The end result is that non-Eeee trying to speak Eeee sound roughly as if they're lisping, and non-Eeee can't fully appreciate the intricacies of Eeee poetry and song. Note: The "Babelite Alphabet" shown above is listed as a GM's tool and reference. While the "real" Babelite language would be quite unlike English, for the sake of simplicity (and so the GM and PCs don't have to learn a new, fictitious language), the above "language" -- used in some illustrations -- is nothing more than a letter-substitution code. |
