Description MissionaryArchives/TheGoldenWay/GammaCruxArgenta/Teku/Tekuan races from the north

Like humans, tekuans present different skin/plumage variations in different regions.

- To the left, we can see an Equatorian tekuan. He only has plumage, of black color, in the loin and in the tail. Melanin in his skin prevents the sun's harmful rays from damaging his skin. As the Equatorian zone of Teku is filled with savannas and there are many dangerous animals over there, Equatorian tekuans rely in hunting, fishing and gathering rather than farming or livestock. Another reason why they don't plow the land, build structures with mud bricks or dig for fleshy roots is because they believe they are damaging Teku's body when doing that. They came to destroy a robot that was collecting soil samples for this belief. The Equatorians worship Teku the most, as they also believe that they're the nearest race to the ''mud people'' Teku created. This is a reason why the other races have a high respect for them.

- To the center left, a Tekuan race that thrives in the zone of the Tropic of Cancer that is closer to the Equator is pictured. They have more plumage and whiter skin, as the zone where they live is filled with green forests and there are not as many predators as in the Equator. They also rely on farming and livestock, and they are the best metal workers. This race is the most variable in terms of beliefs, and they are the ones who suffer the most wars, whether over territory, resources or religion.

- To the center right, I drawed the Tekuan race from my first deviation. This race originated in the zone of the Tropic of Cancer that is closer to the North. They have the whitest skin and the most plumage, as the North is very snowy and harsh. They abandoned agriculture, but they still have livestock. The vast majority worships Mato the most, as they consider that he is present when someone lights a bonfire, and protects them from the cold and from a lot of predators.

- To the right, the rarest of the races from the North is present. As they live in the North and trees are non-existent and they can't use wood to craft tools or build houses (although they can use bones to make weapons), they are a nomadic race that relies completely in hunting and fishing. They have a fat layer that keeps them warm, and they also developed stronger muscles to chase their prey for longer, in addition of longer limbs to run faster. They have the longest fingers and sharpest claws, to better cling to the skin of their prey. We have been able to observe some individuals that came to develop membranes between their fingers and toes, to swim better. Like the tekuans from the Equator, they have melanin in their skins to protect themselves from the sun's radiation. They are devout to Saju (''Father'' or ''Water'') as they believe that he is their true creator, and not Teku, as most of the animals they hunt live in the sea. The also worship the goddess Tkelu (''Cold'') and her two children with Saju, the god Janu (''Ice'') and the goddess Jemu (''Snow''), and thank them for their prey, via sacrifices. A bonfire is considered a miracle from Mato.

Edit 28/04/2022: Renamed the title. The acronyms, in order, mean Missionary Archives (the info. that I and my team collect in our spaceship, the Missionary), The Golden Way (the galaxy where the planet Teku is located), Gamma (Teku's sun star) Crux Argenta (the constellation where the star is), and Teku. I also switched the main title from ''Tekuan's skin variations from the North'' to ''Races from the north'' to occupy less space. I didn't know there was a limit  
Edit 03/06/2022: Renamed the title because it was so fricking long.
