MANVITA
― A world where the sun, mountains, forests, and sea breathe ―

MANVITA
─── Land Watched Over by the Sun ───
This is an ancient era, when people still lived in harmony with nature.
Deep tropical forests.
Estuaries leading to the sea.
Giant mountains reaching for the heavens.
In this land, surrounded by such abundant nature,
there was a region where people called MANVITA lived.
In Manvita, three settlements thrive, each adapted to its environment: the mountains, the forests, and the sea.
Ore from the mountains to the sea.
Herbs from the forest to the mountains.
Fish and salt from the sea to the forest.
Each produced what they excelled at in their own land, and shared what they lacked.
That is the way of life in Manvita.
Humans and Beastfolk
Two distinct races live in Manvita.
Humans
Ordinary humans.
They excel in fields such as agriculture, commerce, and crafts, supporting the life of Manvita.
Beastfolk
A race with human forms and animal characteristics.
Some with sharp fangs.
Some with bird wings.
Some with beast ears or tails.
They know the forest as hunters, protect the settlements as warriors, and listen to the voices of the gods as shamans.
This is the culture of Manvita.
The Three Settlements
Mountain Village — People of Mountains and Ore
Settlements built on the slopes and highlands of the central mountain.
Agriculture, mining, quarrying, and metalworking are prosperous, and they cultivate crops like corn, yucca, and avocados.
Stone agricultural terraces are built on steep slopes, and ore mined from the mountains is processed into weapons, tools, and ornaments.
The leader of the Mountain Village is Kashike Montana.
Only beastfolk who know the mountains intimately and have overcome the trials of the sun god can earn this title.
Forest Village — People Living with the Forest
Settlements located within deep tropical forests and mountain woods.
The people who live here do not view the forest merely as a resource.
The forest is their home, a place that provides food, and a place that offers medicine.
It is also a sacred place where gods and ancestors reside.
The leader of the Forest Village is Kashike Bosque.
The beastfolk who know the forest best earn this title.
Sea Village — People of the Sea and Trade
Settlements built along the coast and at river mouths.
Fishing, gathering, agriculture, sea travel, and trade are prosperous.
The bounty from the sea, such as fish, shellfish, and salt, supports the lives of the people.
Furthermore, the Sea Village serves as the gateway for trade connecting Manvita to the outside world.
The Sea Village is protected by Kashike Mar.
Only beastfolk who know the sea intimately and can read the tides of tomorrow can earn this title.

The Summit Temple and Shaman Sol
In the center stands a mountain overlooking the three settlements.
At its summit lies the Summit Temple, considered the place closest to the sun god.
And within the temple resides a special shaman.
Shaman Sol
The wisest among the shamans of the three settlements is chosen.
Their role is not to command.
To watch over all of Manvita and convey the voices of the gods to the people.
Those who become Shaman Sol never leave the Summit Temple, dedicating their lives to Manvita.
The Ranks of Manvita
Manvita has four ranks: Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron.
However, these ranks do not determine one's value as a person.
Higher ranks bear greater responsibilities.
Gold
Sun God
Symbolizing the Sun God, this is the highest rank. It is worn by those who support Manvita, such as Shaman Sol and the Kashikes of the three villages.
Silver
Moon God
Symbolizing the Moon God. This rank supports those in the Gold rank, such as shamans and skilled warriors.
Bronze
Earth
Symbolizing the Earth. Many who draw bounty from the land, such as farmers, merchants, and herders, belong to this rank.
Iron
Rock
Symbolizing Rock. Many who play roles in protecting the settlements, such as warriors, belong to this rank.
Just because Gold is the highest rank does not mean those of Iron are looked down upon.
The sun, the moon, the earth, the rock.
The world cannot exist with only one of them.
Land Watched Over by the Sun
Life in the mountains, life in the forests, life by the sea.
The three distinct settlements are connected by trade, revering the gods and ancestors, and living in harmony with nature.
And always, the sun was at the center of their existence.
The sun that bestows blessings.
The sun that nurtures life.
And the god that watches over Manvita.
This is the story of humans and beastfolk,
living in this ancient world.
A tale of humans and beastfolk.
