Description The Sofoskefali are Planet Whire's first truly sapient species, although the planet is filled with mechanical automatons, the Sofoskefali aren't technologically advanced, being comparable to south american tribes from Earth. They live only on their continent of origin, not having expanded to the rest of the planet, most live primarily on savannahs. Having mostly city-estates, the tallest Gigassolaris is the point of origin of most villages, they will usually build a temple on the top of the "tree", and their homes will be built around the base of it.

At the top of the image there are some artifacts found around an abandoned village.

1. The first is an statue made from the carcass of an Magnumlampsi, it is thought that this statue represents a god of worship in their culture, although different cultures have different pantheons, all cultures seem to worship some variation of this god, it likely represents, either the planet's sun, or the thunder clouds of the skies. Some interesting features of this god, are the lack of a mouth, and the fact that it's arms are replaced with thunder clouds.

2. It is unknown if the second artifact represents an Star-Chart or simply points of interest of the sorrounding areas, however it is safe to assume that it used some purpose of location.

3. The third artifact was found inside of the village's temple, it is a carved drawing of the sun god looking at a lone Sofoskefali atop a cliff.

4. The fourth artifact is simply a carving explaining how to hold and throw a spear.
