This summer we decided to create characters from Inayva Mon, the homeland of the kodo and inay humans, located right in the middle of Beyleria (but closed for the beylerians themselves due to the Flat surrounding it). You may saw the cute plush tigers while playing the second chapter of tCoL?
These are the inay souvenirs!
Shanglanians from other countries doesn't know much about Inayva. Basically, they only know that inay draw cool comics, love tigers, practice some kind of weird religion, and also that the country itself is under the protection of the danga tsourai clan. The "magical" bamboo forest grows around Inayva, and only the inay can go through it.
Our characters are called Cassio (he is a young dangan, a servant of Dangaism, he has a real danga with him) and Goro (he is a shuks, this is how locals call demons... but in fact he is a tsourai from an almost extinct clan). You can see the development of the characters from the basic idea to their final design on the sketches.
The design of shuks clan appeared because of the adopts that we bought from RayEtherna, our friend and colleague! x3 We really wanted to add them into the lore, and a suitable role was immediately found, giving a pleasant start to new concepts and stories in Inayva.
