Mec

The Mec are a species of human but notably not Homo Sapien. The vast majority of the Mec population is in Fyþir and descends from the Northern Mec gene pool. Mec populated the Northern half of Igleis before humans began entering the region, this was due to the Mec being more acclimatised to and evolved for cold climates seen in their having never lost fur, their shorter limbs and higher blood temperature amongst others. Mec have not only physiological adaptations but also cultural adaptations such as the phenomenon of the Kweʃ (Winter meeting).

Mec are thought to be the original inhabitants of Igleis due to their adaptations to the cold climate it had in the Ice Age that their homo sapien counterparts lacked. Descendants of Mec can be found in the Southern regions of Igleis though they have interbred with humans much more and for a longer time, as a result their adaptations to a warmer climate along with human genetics are the origin of the Nimandrians and those in the Southern regions of Igleis.
