Sentient Life on Sewoch
Nebelibali
Nebelibali are creatures of ash and fire who thrive in the heat of volcanoes and flowing lava. Though not exactly a racial variant, the Abati variant of the Nebelibali have skin hardened to near invincibility. The Abati cut a frightening countenance to any who oppose them in a conflict. The Yemifela variant of the Nebelibali share physical similarities with the Yewiha, however they differ greatly in lifestyle, preferring the extreme temperatures of underwater volcanic plumes.

Yewiha
Yewiha are creatures of water. While the species can thrive in any water, the Yebahiri variant is most comfortable in saltwater, while the Yewenizi prefer fresh water lakes and rivers. All variants are capable of surviving on land for several days, provided they are supplied with a considerable amount of water.

The Religions of Sewoch
To refer to Sewoch religions as religions is perhaps a stretch of the work. Ascetics and those considered more 'holy' among the Sewoch practice one of two major branches of a philosophy of improvement. The goal of both philosophies is to achieve Temokiro or the feeling of ultimate experience.
To the outside observer, this goal is achieved or at the very least approached, when the philosophy is applied to improve the quality of life. This is rarely a single issue, however, as the improvement must either involve many fronts for an individual or a benefit for many individuals on a single front. To achieve Temokiro, there must always a weaving of smaller goals into a greater good.
The two major branches of this philosophy can be loosely defined as Sewoch religions, they are called Medigemi and Kilesa. These two paths are practiced among all sentient species of the Sewoch continent, though some species are known to generally prefer one path to the other.
Medigemi
Medigemi is the path of repetition. This one where an act is repeated indefinitely and constantly improved upon in each repetition until it can no longer be improved upon or the level of improvement is negligible. Medigemi requires near infinite patience, however it brings about very powerful techniques for resolving life's issues.
Kilesa
Kilesa is the path of revision. It is a technique for resolving an issue with shortest and most direct path. For example, if an ascetic were to have the problem of reading in low light, a practitioner of Medigemi might learn to recognize symbols and shapes on the page in low light through countless repetitions. The practitioner of Kilesa would light a candle.
