The Eisshari are an alien species superficially resembling reptiles. They are unrelated to any earthly life forms, but they have a number of traits in common with dinosaurs or birds. Their world of origin is unknown, but they are believed to be an uplifted client species brought as slaves to Annyrion by the Dallens several thousand years ago. After the Dallens left Annyrion, the remaining Eisshari thrived and spread across large parts of the planet.
In Inaria they have formed a bronze-age society with agriculture and cities. This original settlement of Earth recoms on Annyrion – at Annyrion City – resulted in friendly relations and the formation of the Annyrion Colonist - Eisshari Coalition. Some Eisshari have picked up language and habits from the recom colonists in Inaria, and there are established programs to foster exchange of culture, education and technology.
Eisshari in Lopanga live in hunter-gatherer tribes, and there is much less interaction between the colonists and these tribes. Lopangan colonists sometimes casually refer to the Eisshari as “kobolds,” which might or might not be considered derogatory depending on context.
Eissharikatan
Annyrion City, created by Terran colonists, has grown up around the southern wall of what is now known as the Eisshari District. Eissharikatan in the local Eisshari language means “Stronghold of the People”. And that is almost exactly what this city is. About 12 000 Eisshari live in this city, making it a very large population as Eisshari go. Eissharikatan is surrounded by red stone walls, which may mean that at one time, the Eisshari were at war. The buildings of this city are usually square shaped, but some are dome-shaped. There are many street stalls in Eissharikatan, and traders walk the stone streets on a frequent basis.
