REGARDING WABAS

The tribe we’ve taken to calling the Wabas, are a race of bipedal, mono-ocular lagomorphs. In layman’s terms, a waba is a big ol’ fluffy one-eyed bunny-rabbit.

They reside right here. Their dimension and everything within it is superimposed on ours, but it resonates at a wildly different frequency. I have named their dimension FIRMA. Similarly, I have taken to calling our own dimension TERRA. After all, Terra Firma is our home. We’ve just been sharing it all along without knowing our neighbours. Between Terra and Firma lies AQUALA, however. A dimension I still know very little about. But I digress!

A grown male waba stands anywhere from 50cm to 120cm tall, covered in drab-colored fur, and usually garbed in a loincloth or similar attire. The females usually wear shawls and cover themselves the way humans do.

They live together in a tribal community, where gender seems irrelevant when it comes to tasks. Individual wabas are selected for their jobs based on their particular skill sets, instead of the gender stereotype we humans have seen over the years. Interesting… I must ask Oliver to query about their social structures further!

The Wabas also have a flat hierarchy. What this means is, just because you’re the chief, you’re no better than anybody else in the tribe. The position of ‘chief’ is just another task selected by skillset. Waba warriors have many tasks to perform; They’re the tribe’s protectors, hunters, scouts and messengers. They fight primarily with crude bows and arrows, as well as shield and spear.

From what Oliver tells me, they also carve large stone facsimiles of themselves to record their history. I dream of one day seeing such sights for myself.
