Overview

Pioneers of Industry

 ‎ ‎‎Arriving in the Beanut Lands with a fearless bravado that is scarcely seen in other species, the Willonians were a force to be reckoned with; their ambition, adaptability, and virility led them to excel wherever they settled. Where other people traditionally connected with the land and made the best of what their environments provided, Willonians instead look to the potential and push the boundaries of what is possible. Their innovation and determination have catapulted the expansion of Willonians into all corners of the continent, but it has also earned themselves a reputation for being reckless and volatile. Indeed, the first great feat achieved by the Willonians upon their arrival was to hunt, tame, and drive back the deadly wild beasts of the central plains. In the span of a decade, the wild plains that had only been inhabited by the smaller Hinfolk became the forefront of the agricultural industry, and still thrives as the breadbasket of the Beanut Lands to this day.

Varian Supergroup

In the present day, Varian people are, as the group name implies, extremely varied. This is most visible in their highly-adaptive bodies, which are the most diverse throughout an individual’s lifetime, unlike the other species groups. They are also linked by their affinity for pursuing personal goals, their desire to experience the world and make their mark upon it, and their undeniable instincts to center their lifestyles around fellowship. The three groups of Varian people includes the Willonians, Hinfolk, and Grimkin

Etymology

The word Willonian is well established as a prefix derived from the ancestral Varian territories of Willory, upon which the Land of Willonia currently resides. The name Willory is derived from its most famous ancient, natural wonder, the Great Willow Tree which lies in the northeastern hill lands of the modern province of Willory Daughton. Before the Armadic sailors of old engaged with the mountain Hin, they were simple clans of naval hierarchies who established settlements and drove out invasive monsters who had too-long dominated the ancestral home of the Varian people. It wasn’t until their major adoption of the Common language that the term “Willonia” was formally recorded as the collection of provinces settled by the northern seafolk. The -an was added as a culturally appropriate term for “from the land of,” similar to the already-established forms of “Lovalian” and “Canzian”
