A sapient being is capable of higher thinking and reasoning, enabling them to form complex societies. It is a step beyond sentience, which is the ability to experience feelings and sensations. Thanks to the crystal, there are three different sapient species on Sunit: Cheskel, the Esila, and the Hessi.

The Crystal?

The Crystal is a symbiotic microorganism that changes the DNA of its hosts. It arrived on an asteroid millenia ago, wiping out most life and allowing the Crystal to integrate with nearly every plant and animal on Sunit. It is directly responsible for the sharp increase in intelligence of the sapient species.

The Cheskel are the small ambipedal omnivores known for being highly intelligent and adaptable. They are the most populous of the sapient races, and the race which this ARPG revolves around. Learn more about them here!

The Esila are quadrupedal omnivores with long crystal horns, known for their strong egos and quick tempers. There are four subspecies of Esila: Whiptails, Ancients, Pygmy, and Purebred.

Hessi

Hessi are large hexapodal carnivores with crystal scales, horns, and spines. They are ambush predators capable of strong elemental attacks, but not inherently cruel.
