Niihmha

The Niihmha is the wind people of Dexothrolium, and are an Origin Specie. They are adept at the art of farming, and cultivating plantlife, along with wind based magick. They are said to have been born of the wind itself.

History
The Niihmha is one of the origin specie, who lived on dexothrolium before the planet was found by the humans. They are beings made of a cloudlike matter that they call "Fleshcloud", it is mostly called "Nihm" which is a word from the language of magick. From this, it is concluded that "Niihmha" means "being of fleshcloud", a description that fits them perfectly. The Niihmha are farmers, who prefer to settle in one place and convert it to a plant based paradise. They have a natural grip on working with plants, so much that it is hardcoded into their very essence. Even newborn Niihmha can cultivate and take care of plants on a level that humans need to be taught to do. Because of their mastery of plantlife, they are usually set to cultivate food on the world of Dexothrolium.

In the old times, they cultivated more food than their species ever could eat, so they had "trading routes" where select Niihmha wander out to the other species and sell their produce for money and gifts. Through this, they became to be known as "the carriers of life" through the sale of fruit and vegetables. Many of the different smaller settlements of the other species could not survive if these trade routes wasn't there, and sometimes when the Niihmha was robbed by bandits and roadside rogues, these settlements where driven to starvation. The Niihmha of old where simply a part of existing as a whole to these places.

Combat Efficiency and Physiology
The Niihmha are not as efficient in combat as the other origin species, and rely more on their ability to converse and barter to solve their fights. If they are threatened they are not afraid to take arms though. Most Niihmha will soar towards bows, guns and other long range weaponry, due to being cut and damaged will release Niihm, which they cannot regenerate naturally. They need to have a mage or a essencimancer look them over and then regenerate where the niihm is needed.

The iconic weapon of the Niihmha is a crossbow loaded with potions. This comes from the alchemists of yonder, who used these contraptions to hunt bounties and criminals. The natural knack of plant culture makes the creation of potions, poisons and gasses quite easy, and thus the alchemist trade was huge amongst the Niihmha.
