Ixian
Ixians are born off planet.
They tend to be infernally or otherwise allied, considered foreigners
They use (or are described as, note was ambigious -gb) Old Born, a term referring to the monstrous entities that govern part of New Aetheria
Stone men
Anthropomorphic beings with 6 legs & 2 arms that were enslaved by humans in order to mine the metals and rift rich material directly from grand fissures. They intermingled with the pre-Aetherian humans, forming mixed communities while maintaining a few isolated communities in the mountains from which they thrive.
Their relative strength to humans is notable. A stoneman is said to have the strength of 20 men combined. They are generally peaceful but are aggressive when provoked.
Their communities were some of the last holdouts against the Aetheran Empire and enjoyed relative peace and calm during the invasion, although they did this mostly by retreating into their communities in the foothills of the mountains. They were able to hold of being conqured for a time by trading precious metals with the Aetherians in exchange for their autonomy.
