The Kandrakari are the local inhabitants of Kandrakar, within the binary system known as Lotharius. Their world orbits the sun called Adaris. They are a mix reptilian-humanoid species of unknown origins. Many claim they are humans who slowly adapted to the ecosystem of Kandrakar. Others assumed they mixed with the other species in the planet known as the Kandri from where the name of the planet and this species arose. The Kandri went extinct or so is believed, but many think they actually mixed with the human primitive settlers to form the Kandrakari.
The Kandrakari have join the Kurûni nation willingly after the Kandrakari-Aldoranian conflict known as the "War of Blood". The Kandrakari were a very martial war-like species with very little knowledge of Thaumaturgy and with a difficult world to sustain large populations. Thus the war only laster Kurûni expansion thanks to the martial upbringing of it's citizens. Currently, they are organized in a Stratocracy crowned by the Elite Thaumaturgic Mages of Kandrakar, a top elite of Kandrakari mages that fashioned themselves like the Kurûni do.
Origins
Apparently the Kandri originated in the planet millions of years before. They had a very primitive society that slowly evolved into a feudalistic one with honor highly valued. They moved with time into a more advance sort of society and stratocratic societies a bit more egalitarian lived alongside feudalistic systems and clan-tribe ones. It was at this time that human settlers began to colonies the planet in large numbers and soon the known as "Kandrakarian Conflicts" arose. They culminated with the total mixing of the large human population with the Kandri, creating the Kandrakari which mixed human technology with Kandraki culture and ways.
They are different types of Kandrakari depending on how mixed they are with humans, however pure Kandri are considered at this point to be "extinct" whatsoever, being them all mixed with humans to form a syncretic new species. The fact that they could intermixed seemed rather odd and many have speculated that the Kandri and Humans were originally derived from a same species considering that the Kandri could be earlier humans who had adapted to their world and cut off from humans, devolved into the Kandri, that later remixed with humans to form the Kandrakari.
