Wechuge

"The creature stood 7 feet tall, 8 including the antlers. While the cold wind bit at each of our forms, the moose-man's fur seemed unaffected by the ice flurrying around us. It lumbered with a stick half the width of a tree trunk and as long as one of us strapped to its back. I'm sure each of the explorers on my team believed we were about to die at the hands of the legendary Wendigo.

''Instead, the creature pulled the stick from behind him, placed it into the snow like a walking aid, and said, "Humans blind." We were too weak from the cold to disagree, and too familiar with the possibility of frostbite to say thank you after he led us back to camp."''

Unbreakable
While most races could hardly withstand the harsh cold of Caesieva for more than 24 hours, the Wechuge live with it for their entire lives. Strengthened by the bitter winds and wisened by the unforgiving wilderness, the Wechuge people practice their culture without worry of the coming winds. They are resilient, steadfast against obstacles, and resolute in their ways. Though time may change, their mannerisms and spiritual connections do not have to, even after the Lightfall.

Dreaded Wendigoes
Though they are mostly passive people, the Wechuge are often mistaken for the legend of the Wendigo. The nightmarish creature is told as folklore to children, a story of a moose-headed beast that eats others for sustenance. While the only similarity to them is appearance, Wechuge find themselves victimized and threatened by those that find them dangerous. They are adamant about not being called such, but have named a local plant in the honor of the story.
