Description
"The Viera may begin as part of the Wood, but the Wood is not the only end that we may choose..." -Fran

LORE:
The Viera come from a land known as Ivalice, where they began their life of seclusion within the forests of the world. Ever-cautious of all outsiders due to major conflicts with the power-hungry Humes, the Viera hide their villages within forests with the aid of a powerful, enchanted powder known as "Vision Dust." With red complexions and consisting almost entirely of females, the Viera genders dwell apart from one another within their race. Possessing superb eyesight, speed, hearing, a vast life span, and a divine connection to the essence of Life in the forests known only to outsiders as "the Wood", the Viera have earned the name "The Children of the Wood." With their reverence for life and the forests as the Mother of their people, the Viera are very philosophical and devout to their path. It is said that the Wood communes with the Viera, that Her voice can be heard only by their ears, however there are those that have chosen to leave the boughs of the Wood, against their own laws. These wanderers were believed for ages past to have lost their ability to commune with the Wood, and once were deemed exiles by the elders. It was however, one day discovered that there are those that always carry Her voice with them...

Viera Hybrids:
There are tales of a mating between a full-blooded Viera and Feolthanos, an ancient leader of a winged race of Humes known as the "Aegyl." The offspring of this line bear shorter ears than the full-blooded Viera, and are fair of skin, with an even longer lifespan than the full-blooded. This line of Viera became known as the "Feol", named for the Aegyl leader. In the past these Viera were viewed as impure abominations by their full-blooded kin, having been tainted by the power-needy Hume blood, and many Feol left the embrace of the Wood. It is said that most of their Warren were decimated in a brutal strike, but they endured, few in numbers even now. Most believe their ears far too harsh and inferior to hear the Green Word of the Mother, but that cannot be true for all.

FUTURE GOALS:

- Completely custom ship exterior and layout
- Magitek Mech Mount
- Tiered Job Armors and weaponry to replace current tiered gear
- Settlements Rework (All screenshots above are not of current spawning villages, and were built by me in game to display to you all what you can create with all the building materials provided in this mod)
- Companions/Crew Rework for the Viera
- Chocobo Mount
- Hub City - Central for Viera Questing

Oh hey, you're active again!
Well then, I'll ask again...

Would you like to have your race officially[/]i supported by Race Traits mod? I already made stats (guesswork), but that's when I didn't get a response from you.

You can check out the public stat Google sheet and comment there! Race Traits - Stats Sheet [docs.google.com]
There is also the user-friendly form you can submit as well. (This option is easier to understand and navigate.) Race Traits - Race Support Application [forms.gle]
I'd love to have your official support! I'd prefer if we can talk on Discord and not on Steam, if necessary.

I'm super stoked to try it out! I'd actually been revamping another race myself haha (Just really toying around on the limits of stats). Nothing on your scale ofc! Just thought to share. Turns out, I'll be needing to bench my personal project for a bit now to hype myself up for Viera 2.0! *\^0^/*

Hey all! Just an update on upcoming content. Since returning to the mod in August, Benchiridion and I have made major progress on future goals and fixing reported bugs. I hadn’t planned on adding so much to the update, but I kept finding things to improve and add. Honestly, I don’t think any aspect of the mod hasn’t been improved. Right now, I’m working on revamping Viera villages to make them more immersive and diverse. After that, we'll test everything to ensure it runs smoothly before releasing. This means it’ll take a little more time. I had hoped to have it out by the start of this year, but here we are—please hang on just a bit longer! Though my list of changes is long, I don’t want to spoil too much, but expect a more complete race mod with appearances from other Ivalice races and a customizable, rideable feathered friend ^_^

Why are the new spawning Viera NPCs naked?
