People of the Latter Days

During the Age of Expansion, the colonies in the Heartland were reproductively isolated, and so suffered a founder effect. From the end of the Cataclysm (738BR) until the first Transworld ships (5YR), humanity was completely cut off from each other. When they rediscovered themselves, they were surprised at what they saw.

Hellings
In 739, a small group of people from Haill escaped the Cataclysm by making a colony on the then-uninhabited world of Saint Vengeance. The Hellings are small (ave. adult is 5'4 m. / 5'0 f.), brownish, with chocolate eyes and curly hair that is black or blackish-red. Their ears are pointed, giving them an eldritch air.

Their language, Hellish, is descended from Earthling English.

Edenings
The Edenings are tall (ave adult is 6' m. / 5'8 f.) and pale. Their hair is natty and their noses flat, sometimes broad. Their coloring is variable, ranging from dark hair and brown eyes to blond hair and blue eyes.

Their language, Edenic, is also descended from Earthling English, but is not intelligible to Hellings.

Mishi
The Mishi are of average build (5'10m./5'5 f.) and pale. Their hair is flat and black, their faces flat, their eyes dark. Their ears are small and the upper part of the lobe projects out horizontally.

Their language, Mishese, is descended from North Chinese.
