Zivora

The Zivora are a race of sapient birds native to Mistoria. They have no predators or political enemies.

History
The Zivora, the Terravis, and the Astrovore all evolved from a common bird ancestor called the Quilark. Most Quilark developed into large predators (the Terravis and Astrovore) but some of them developed into slightly smaller and much more intelligent birds (the Zivora). They developed a great intelligence and began to build small villages. They would go and hunt Gyrotops, much like humans hunt deer, but the Zivora would use their natural weapons (their claws and beaks). The Zivora are not preyed upon by anything on Mistoria, and they live in several small villages scattered across parts of Mistoria.

Lifestyle
All of the Zivora villages work together as political allies. They trade food, plants, and deposits of the valuable Mist Ore, and they co-exist with a peaceful barter system. Villages do not war, and the entire species is united. They have no official currency, and simply trade Minerals and Food between villages. Often, neighbouring villages will go hunting together. Each village is goverened by a single chieftain.
