The Braxian people are a unique race of Gamesman which since time immemorial has inhabited the vast cavern system that extends outwards from beneath the waters of Lake Norton.

Keeper of the Arterial Realm

Though the primary entrance to the Corumian Underground is found beneath the waters of Lake Norton, secret access ways to the region can be found across the countryside, in hidden places such as the hollowed-out base of an ancient and overgrown Uso-Oname.

The Braxian people who comprise the nation of The Corumian Underground are governed by a monarch whose power and influence are derived from access to the secrets of the Arterial realm, which according to ancient Braxian beliefs is a world that exists far beneath the Micrasian surface, in a tremendous void which surrounds the planet's core. An entire world in and of itself, the Arterial Realm - according to Braxian tradition - can only be accessed via a specific network of caverns known only to a handful of people, among them the ruler of the Corumian Underground. According to tradition, only a few have traveled the Arterial Realm, and none have returned without first earning the favor of the Titans who abide there.

Braxians in Pop-Culture

The Braxian people have, in the period since the annexation by Passio-Corum of Lake Norton, attained a level of pop-cultural significance around the world. Most notably, Braxian characters played a leading role as antagonists in the 1657 AN movie by acclaimed Caputian director, Hans Bakovic, entitled Lakeside.

Braxians' Prehensile Feet

Depending on their tribe, Braxians may have either five or six toes. Shoes are specifically designed to accommodate individuals of both arrangements.

Braxians are renowned for their distinctive feet, which function almost like a second set of hands. These unique feet are equipped with prehensile toes, providing them with an impressive level of dexterity and control. Each of their smaller toes can grasp and manipulate objects with surprising precision, while the larger toe, resembling a human thumb, allows for powerful gripping and delicate maneuvering. This remarkable trait enables Braxians to traverse the challenging cave environments they call home, navigating narrow ledges and steep rock faces with ease.

This adaptation has significantly influenced the development of Braxian society and culture. In the intricate network of tunnels and caverns, their hand-like feet offer them unmatched climbing ability and the agility needed to move swiftly through the underground terrain. Tools, weapons, and instruments are often designed to be operated using both hands and feet, reflecting the Braxians' reliance on all four limbs. This capability also allows them to perform delicate tasks, such as crafting jewelry or carving intricate symbols into the rock walls of their subterranean world. The Braxians' prehensile feet, thus, serve as a symbol of their ingenuity and resilience in the face of a harsh and unforgiving environment.
