The Ten Ruling Creature Kinds of Valadae
While there are literally dozens of sentient creature kinds living within Valadae’s eleven kingdoms, only ten have a present line of sovereignty and/ or are universally recognised to maintain the systems of governance.
Presented alphabetically by name, alongside profiles of their physical appearance and basic biography outline, they are:
Centaurs, Dragons, Duards, Haunjers, Hemlans, Hippogriffs, Morwulves, Sphinx, Unicorns, and Wescats.
The population status of each creature kind is based on recorded numbers chronicled over a five cycle period (most recent five), and categorised in one of five levels indicated below.
Population Status
Thriving – Numbers are increasing at an above-average rate
Well – Numbers are increasing at an average rate
Steady – Numbers are maintained
In Decline – Numbers are decreasing at an average rate
Poor – Numbers are decreasing at an above-average rate
