Chaule

Warriors for the Self
(Appearance: France during the French Revolution in terms of clothing.  Tall, dark-skinned humans.)

The Chaule give each other titles that are colors, based on their clout.

The Mercenaries hail from the southeastern group of 5 islands, together known as The Chaule Islands. They have little centralized government, instead are interested in the affairs of foreign powers moreso than they are of happenings in their homeland. Each island is home to a group of mercenaries, and each sells their able-bodied men to the highest bidder on a regular basis. Oftentimes the different islands will be on opposite sides of a conflict.

They spend their days hunting for meat, tending their farms, and sometimes entertaining foreign visitors looking for a contract. Their main focus is their armories: they have a wide variety of swords, daggers, hammers, and anything else you could think of. They also have a prototype cannon. Because of the average technology of the world, it doesn't work to well, and is unreliable at that. They test out their new weapons on both target dummies and on the wildlife of the island. If they can kill an animal with it, surely it must do some good on sentient races.

It would come as no surprise that the Kios are the group that most often employs Chaule forces. The Velo also employ them quite often to do some fighting for them.

The individual islands are always at war with each other, as well.

Their God is named Genterre, the God of War, and of Money. After all, for a race of mercenaries, they really don't care about anything else. He takes on the appearance of a tall human in full armor wielding a shield and heavy sword. (When I say armor, it's probably something similar to knight armor, given the inspiration.)
