Thavmain Race: Menoetians

The largest race of Thavmains is the Menoetians. The Menoetians morph from the royal purple color into a flame-like appearance in the skin, triggered by anger or intense passion. They have a heavy belief that the mortality of everything is special, giving them an instinctual desire to have control over these emotions. This control is necessary, as extremely unstable anger can lead to a massive explosion. Without this control, Menoetians tend to be rash in behavior.

Ancient Thavmain lore suggests the Menoetians began the tradition of heavy self control and training at continentias. The story goes that a Menoetian mother named Mevo, created an unstable reaction over the unexpected loss of a child. This reaction led to the complete destruction of the mythical ancient city of Thamok. Afterwards, the Thavma Decree was believed to be enacted, creating continentias and the teaching of self-control, to prevent such an event to occur again.

A separate telling of this tale has Mevo being a heavily outspoken critic of the Thavma Decree. In this version, Mevo's child is abducted to silence her. After the passing of the law, her child was killed anyway, thus creating the catalyst that destroyed Thamok.

Although there is discrepancy in the tale, the vast majority of Menoetian believe in the Thavma Decree. Currently, however, there is a small subset of Menoetian called the Mevoi (named after Mevo) in rebellion to free themselves of this "oppression." The Mevoi make their base on a small planet near Thavma called Yuvos.
