Inva

Description
The Inva are the people of Ters Ada Island, though small in number, they more than make up for it with some of the best education and martial training programmes in the region. As a people the Inva are proficient in Illusion magic, learning to summon mirror images and copies to confuse foes before cutting them down with precise blows. Sadly, this did not save them from the "colonisation" efforts of more powerful nations, and they now live as a small cluster of free towns, and their capital Yansima, surrounded by three nations in a tense cease fire. Many schools and traditions were lost in the invasions, and the coming generations are losing touch with the more peaceful ways of the past, and embrace a more monstrous version of their heritage.
