Jittering

Jittering are a species of small and bipedal creatures with prehensile tails. They have been found to be, on the whole, very curious and quick learners. Native to the Jitta archipelago, west of Snovdenoska and to the north of Tanrei Island, they have adapted to life on the mainland exceptionally well and, since becoming Citizen Species, have entered high positions in guildhalls and Maegye schools.

History & Demographics
The first Jittering made it to the Belenus mainland in the years roughly before 1300 KO, during the reign of the Rift Emperor Mam'rai, when a tribe living on a rock at one of the southern-most islands of the Jitta archipelago (later called Yakuyaku) was adopted by an imperial ship that had shortly been waylaid while exploring a path to the Iyn Continent.

For most of the rest of the First Epoch, they were considered pets of the royal family, to be traded as gifts or favors. One of the first famous Jittering, Sunny the Saboteur, was first given to the Lady Helenyasu (first Queen of Helman) by the Empress Mamna.

Demographic Subsets

 * Yakuyaku Jittering: Yakuyaku Jittering hail from the southernmost Island of the Jitta archipelago and are the closest to Tanrel Island. They are shorter and stouter than their Honsho cousins, with darker and thicker hair, and – having spent thousands of years studying flotsam from Tanrel, also have more Maegye capability. They were the first to disperse some of the mist surrounding the Jitta archipelago, allowing travelers from the mainland to make contact for the first time in eons.
 * Honsho Jittering: Honsho Jittering live on the main island of the Jitta archipelago and, until the arrival of mainlanders, conducted life high in the trees due to the menacing, thick-skinned fauna down below. They are known for making amazing traps out of the few resources they could scrounge from the Honsho forests.
 * Sappo Jittering: Honsho legends tell of a Jittering tribe in the North that trained its warrior prowess enough to live on the ground. Several Sappo have made it to Honsho lands, though as of the Modern Era, it has been at least 500 years since the last one was seen.
