Background[]
Who ruled on Auriga before the Endless conquered it? Few traces remain of civilizations that pre-date the Endless, and even these fade with time. But now the answer comes to us in the form of a strange people who call themselves the "Allayi". Masters of flight and battle who change their society and even their forms with the seasons, they are returning to re-establish their nation now that the horrors perpetrated by the Endless are long gone. They view the planet as their home and goddess, and will go to any lengths to protect her.
Before the Endless came there were other peoples and other forces on Auriga. These were destroyed or scattered and only now, centuries after the horrors perpetrated by the Endless have faded, are they coming out into the light. Foremost among them are the Allayi, an adaptable race who change their way of life and even their form with the seasons. Remember that they view Auriga as their goddess and mother, and they are willing to do whatever is necessary to protect her.

Appearance[]
The oldest sentient species on Auriga, the Allayi offer a stark contrast to some of its later humanoid factions. Displaying great manes of long hair topped by big ears and wide muzzles, they have long limbs and fragmented wings, akin to that of the Scythers, whose design was based on Allayi Monks.
