====== Kaiika ======

Penguin-based race, hailing from the [[frozen_expanse|Frozen Expanse]].  They are sentient creatures with a social hierarchy.  

One of their larger villages is known as [[yulora|Yulora]]. It is often the target of attacks by the local [[frost_giant|Frost Giants]].

===== Society =====

Kaiika communities live in villages, primarily in the [[frozen_expanse|Frozen Expanse]].  Homes are made from ice blocks.  The Kaiika live in general isolation, only receiving news from the mainland from passing trader vessels, such as the [[merrin_s_hammer|Merrin's Hammer]].

The village Elder oversees all the happenings of the villagers.  Warriors and hunters are trained in the use of spears, hunting, and fighting.  Sorcerers also have lived among the Kaiika, with [[kayok_the_slipperyquick|Kayok the Slipperyquick]] being the last living example.

Kaiika primarly survive on a diet of fish.  However, they are always willing to hunt bigger game such as snow leopards or bear.  Their pelts can be used for trade.  Scouts are excellent at finding such game.

Monks of the village will lead citizens in their worship of [[shissatissk|Shissatissk]], the goddess of fishing.  Priestesses are known to have ventured to the mainland in order to share their religious beliefs.

Young Kaiika can often be found entertaining themselves with a simple game.  Six stand in a triangle formation at the end of a length of ice.  A seventh hurls themselves down the ice, hoping to knock over as many as possible.
