Editing Setting:Unified Setting/Vilous (section)

==Jiar-jia (The Swamp of Death)==
Homeland of the doobies, the most perfect, beautiful and awesome creatures in all of creation. In deference to lesser beings they make their home in the southernmost realm of Vilous. The area is a drain for Vilous and Lindwurm and infested with creatures so foul and dangerous they seem to have stepped out of the Water Forest. The doobies insist that the Swamp of Death is actually a paradise that other races are simply unable to appreciate.

Or so they say, for in all things doobie there is the perspective of the doobies and the perspective of the unenlightened.

Doobies are creatures of such striking beauty, that it is impossible not to stare in awe at them. Their songs are so hauntingly beautiful they awaken a melancholy so deep it brings tears to all who hear it. Their movements are so graceful it inspires love in even the coldest of hearts. Their intellect and philosophy are so powerful that it is difficult for lesser beings to understand even an iota of their wisdom

Doobies are freakish, misshapen looking creatures that it is impossible not to gawk at. Their incessant, tuneless wailing is so unbearable it can make a grown man cry. Their freakish, spastic jerking is so pitiful you feel an urge to correct them. Their nonsensical ramblings make the ravings of a drunken kobold with heat-stroke seem sane in comparison.

Whichever side you believe, the doobie endure despite all threats. This, they say, is proof of their perfection. Naysayers put greater credit on the fact that doobies are almost impossible to kill. They heal in seconds from normal wounds, slightly longer from mortal ones and have been known to pick up and re-attach severed limbs.

Doobies are familiar with naysayers. Perfection inspires jealousy and they are surrounded by imperfect, lesser beings. Because they are so morally superior they hold no anger in their hearts. Few doobies leave their perfect homeland (perfect by definition because the doobies live there) but those who do frequently become infamous, which means MORE famous.

Adding credence to the doobie perspective (which needs no validation) there are members of many races who hold the doobies in the highest esteem, claiming that those who do not appreciate this magnificent species and their incredible culture are just not ready for it.
