Wookie People

The Wookie People are a sect of the greater Shinto People. The largest population of genetically diverse Shinto, they are covered from head to toe with thick fur which keep them warm in the cold nights of the far east.

History
Around 500 million years ago, according to the The Big Book of Ancient Gabanian Fables, the Mother Goddess Pallas Athena sent the Shinto to inhabit the world changing each one of them to adapt to their new climate keeping them connected by language, Athenian(Language). The Wookie settled what is now the Guandalupe Mountain Chain around 479 Million years ago, and have since expanded across the Far East having been one of the founding Kingdoms of the Dragon Empire, a competing trading, religious, and political Empire to that of the wealthier more populous Athenian Empire.

Religion
Wookie's believe in Athenaism as their faith like most other Shinto People. Unlike most Athenians, they believe that worship is an everyday all the time practice thus there is no need for a Temple when the Temple should be within the home. This is known as Wookie Orthodox Athenaism.

Language
The Language of the Wookie people is Athenian(Language) unlike other sects of Shinto people, they never developed a new language. Their proximity to Athens allowed them to continue using Athenian to communicate and conduct business.

Diet
Like all Shinto People, the Wookie follow the Laws of Koshem.
