 The race of creatures known as Moogles are a peculiar bunch, half fey, half mortal, children of one of the more peculiar Greater Spirits. His agents and worshippers and in many lands a symbol of civilisation.
-Apperance:
+Appearance:
-For the most part moogles are short, white furred creatures, normally about three to four feet tall with red, purple or pink wings, small black eyes and a peculiar sphere of red fur dangling from an antennae that sprouts from between their large ears. Colouration varies depending on heritage, magic and a variety of other factors.  Dextrous with their hands, reknowned for their unorthodox thinking and way of viewing the world they are a race of diverse nomads easily adapting to the region they inhabit but always carrying their core identity and racial culture with them.

 History:
-When civilisation began, in the dawn of ages, there where the Greater Spirits and the lesser spirits and there was Lord Mog. A force of nature, a culmination of mortal madness, ingenuity and idea given thought and form. A warrior true ready to stand and fight but an inventor, a mystic and mage, gardner, housekeeper, lover, smith and opera singer. All the quirks and thoughts, feelings and idiosyncracies of the mortal mind focussed on one individual and he was Mog.

-Whilst he walked the young lands Mog watched societies developing, saw the people reaching toward knowledge, thought and society but there was an inherrant flaw. Not just the nature of man or the fickleness of nature but an underlying person, a focussing point for all those tiny little parts required to keep society running and help it to develop. From these ideas he span the Moogles, his children and within them he instilled his enthusiasm, his dreams and the desire to progress that filled the minds of mortals.

-It was these creatures who spread across the world, bubbling with ideas and inspiration. Working together with mortals to craft, to build, to invent and further their knowledge. In some ages they have been few and in others they have been plentiful but always has the inherant madness, that blessing and flaw of Mogs nature been a part of them and in turn a part of the world in which they live.

-When a moogle dies their spirit ascends to the Hall of Mog in the hallowed realm of Alexander to await their next turn at life, sometimes the hall is filled, a place of long sojourns and waiting for the world to be ready. Othertimes it is but a place for a brief stop before they are spun out to be born again.

 As time passed and civilisation developed Moogles gravitated to the magic and technology of the world. Known as great mechanics and Techno-Mancers, workers of the earth and skilled inventors. Passionate warriors, impressive strategists and never shy of making themselves and their opinions heard. For the most part Moogles work together alongside existing government and societies, a welcome present in most town running industries and performing jobs that require a mechanics touch. Running water pumps, aerodomes, teleporter networks and offering mechanical repair services.
-Found in many cities, in different countries around the world, they where also to be found in the country side, living side by side with nomadic bands and small communities offering a wide range of expertise and skills from magic to healing, mercenary or soldier. Embracing the culture of their home is second nature to these small furry entrepraneurs but at the core wherever they are, what ever they are doing with their life they are still a Moogle.

-Moogle society was rocked when Larsa's Folly shattered the world and the mist devoured vast tracks of the population they too where affected. Their reliance on Technology and Magic could not save them from the rampages of Nature any more then the rest of the world could. The folly led to a stratification in Moogle society, those who renounced their adherance to technology and wished to live in harmony with nature.

Their reliance on Technology and Magic could not save them from the rampages of Nature any more then the rest of the world could. The folly led to a stratification in Moogle society, those who renounced their adherence to technology and wished to live in harmony with nature.
 This philosophy was embraced by a vast majority but as time passed a filtering of interests, support from their Lord Mog saw the new ideas and natures of their culture returned once more to technology. In the world we live in now Moogles tend to exhibit skill in either technology or the natural world with magic as a basis linking the two.  For is is magic that can enhance both and regulate both but it is also Magic that can bring about the greatest disasters. The watchword for any moogle is carefully, walking the heights with care and never tampering with that which should be left alone.
-For the most part they still work in family groups of four or five though individually they can be known to strike out on their own to find their place in the world. A sub-community of moogles can live in a city, all working different jobs, be they natural, magical, adeventuring, sailing, mechanical or what have you and still retain links to the vaster community of moogles around them.

 Society:
-For most Moogles the family is everything, they tend to live communally with everyone helping out. In private no one has rank over anyone else excpet for the elder. Which can be the eldest member of the family or the eldest Moogle in the village for they do exist out there in the world, entire villages of the small furry kupoing creatures.

-Children are reared by all, cousins, aunts, grandparents all take a hand in helping to look after the little ones. Parents may have jobs that demand their attention but their children are never alone. Raised together, taught the tenants of their faith and helped to discover the area of expertise that they excell at. Encouraged to follow their dreams, to aim for their hearts desire and supported to help them reach it.

 The dance is also an intrinsic part of their lives, from a very young age they are led through the dance. The pom-poms acting as links to the vast strata of magical energy that runs through the world, acting as early warning in times of danger to a focus point for their spells. It is said that acting together, dancing as one Moogles can bend magic to their will to perform wonders which individually they could not.
-Religion for moogles is often times an excuse to get together and dance! The ceremonies in the temples to Lord Mog are generally filled with dancing and energy. Lord Famfrit is also revered as is Lord Arc, the major spirits of technology and innovation. Demeter, Titan and the spirits of nature also have their place in Moogle society and all are given equal deferance but for most Lord Mog stands above all.
