Dydii

The Dydii was a race that occupied a small continent to the north. named after them, for many thousands of years. They were known for being basically humanoid but with four legs with four toes on each foot, six fingers on each hand instead of five, and extremely long noses. They were also shorter, wider, and predominately dark-skinned and grey-eyed.

The Dydii were industrious and cunning, and mostly kept to themselves on their isle. After throwing off the shackles of their overlord, Lwyen, in ancient times, they dedicated themselves to building a grand utopia for themselves where they could live in peace forever. About three decades ago, their entire race vanished from Cykell, leaving their great architecture scattered about their continent. None are quite sure what caused them to disappear and many speculate as to what could have been the cause.

The Dydii worshiped no god primarily but did tribute often to Hiy'murmun, whose great gifts helped them to get rid of their vicious overlord in ancient times. Over time, their failure to choose any particular god as a patron angered some, including the great Horostalk. Horostalk feared that the Dydii were following the path of the Lwyetites and eventually confronted them, but they ignored him and, instead, vanished from the face of the planet.

The most popular view as to what happened to them is that Horostalk wiped them out, but the god himself denied this. This view, however, has strained the truce between Hiy'murmun and the Ogre God, for she was a friend to the Dydii.
