So, the Iloail are a race of plant-people split into three castes, the irises, lotuses, and roses. The Irises are the workers, builders, and more caring parents. Most of them are male. The lotuses are the warriors and the majority of them are female. These lotuses tend to make up the majority of Iloial minority populations, as prisoners of war turned into civilians. The roses are the nobility and royalty and are only female.
Externally, the Iloial appear like a flower, as large green leaves cover most of their body and their hair is made of multiple long petals of varying vibrant colors. Their eyes are always a solid pale blue. They're about as big as a human and a slight bit thinner. The deeper you dig into one, the body becomes a mix of plant and animal tissues, with a foul-smelling sap fueling their body yet their hearts being mostly animal tissue. Their bones and teeth are a combination of bone and that wood-like material. Said teeth are sharp and used to eat the dead of any sentient race, including their own. In fact, it's considered better to feed a comrade than to rot outside. They live the healthiest in swamps and forests, where the supply of water, sun, and things to kill and eat are highest. However, a group of exiles called the Icethorns have set up a town called Qialxebia (Kee-all-SAY-bee-uh) in the region of Voshor, one of the three regions of Kestvoshorzhelm, a small, predominantly taiga continent, home to both the first Demonbloods and their language of Kestvoshorik.
Most are naturally aggressive and territorial to those not of their own grounds, Iloial or not. When they work with other races, they usually do dealings with the Demonbloods, who share the same love of combat and traditions of cannibalism. When they have trouble with eachother, though, it's usually about the Iloial religion versus the atheist majority in Demonblood society or the Demonbloods wasting borrowed resources on things the Iloial view useless, like massive artistic projects or trying to sustain good relations with the humans or Nyelrrithics. The Iloial tend to despise the Nyelrrithics.
The primary Iloial religion is called Xolqexicqast (sol-KAY-sick-ast). It has two gods in it, Litexa (lee-TAY-sah), the goddess of the sun and combat, and Mitalxiz (mi-TAL-seeze), goddess of sleep and death. Litexa is responsible for protecting Iloial from harm and keeping the sun from aging to the point of its destruction, while Mitalxiz brings the Iloial that Litexa could not protect to the Mezocq-hoin (mez-OKE-hoin), which is Warspeak for Greenmarsh. Mezocq-hoin is more like Valhalla than Heaven.
Ultim-talst (Ull-tim TALLST), which means "Before Favor" is where the non-Iloial souls go for exactly 32 years. The place is a cold, yet burning system of infinite tunnels where almost everything is made of metal or hard stone in some combination. People will constantly feel the need to eat and drink, leading them to kill other souls, an action that resets the changing of the victim's soul into that of an Iloial. The Iloial see themselves as doing good for the people they forcibly convert, as they believe that if you do not follow the religion, your soul ceases to exist. When they commit genocide, they are preventing those they see as inferior (the Nyelrrithics), from being allowed into Ultim-talst.
