Hestja

The Hestja are a tribal people with some humanoid properties. They have two legs, two arms, one head and two wings. They have fur in a range of different colors. They live in a caste system, where the role of the individual is determined by the patterns and colors of their skin, the shape of their head, and in some cases the abscence of wings. Most of them live in forests, but they can live in most terrains including grottos. This has led to the false belief that they are related to the gargoyles. A small band of Hestja some two-hundred in size live in the clouds. Their fur is all white.

Evergloom
The Hestja are native to Evergloom, where they are a minor race, living mostly in forests and preying on wild life and the occasional emperial. When the Qwanari fled from their homelands due to the incursion of the Industrialized, the Hestja made it very clear - by killing some of the Qwanari - that this was their land. This was an unfortunate happening, as the Qwanari only came in desperation, but the Hestja had grown mistrustful due to conflicts with the Empire, as the emperials had begone to cut into the forests, homeland of the Hestja.

Fireball
The Hestja also live on Osmas, a continent in the world of Fireball. They live south of the New King City, in what has become the Dying Jungles after the appearence of the Khomen. Because of the decay of the jungles just as the Khomen arrived, the Hestja blame them for the death of their homes.
