The Aphayay Aliyu are an indigenous people of Darkest Peru, shrunken and made primitive by the magic of the Old Growth tree. They stand between 1 and 2 feet tall, have cocoa brown skin that they decorate with ash. Their heads are hard, swollen, and resemble cocoa pods. They keep what hair they have slicked back. They are superstitious, barbaric, and mean spirited; a far cry from the civilized Aphayay Aliyu tribe they once were. The force they fear and respect most in the world is Lucia de Castillo. If the Old Growth is the Pygmy’s god, then Lucia is akin to a prophet to them. It is her commandments that they obey and her wrath that they fear. It is only by her infinitesimal mercy that they are spared from the ‘cold outside world’, as Lucia often reminds them.(From the LofFP Award-winning module "Blood in the Chocolate" by Kiel Chenier) Instinct: Obey Lucia
