Dakamash

The Dakamash are a people descended from Neanderthals originally from Earth that were transplanted on the planet Mirica.

Background
The Dakamash are a humanoid race, with broad faces, brow ridges, large eye sockets, and a slightly receding chin. Their ancestors were transplanted on Mirica nearly forty-thousand years ago by the Others. In addition their ancient enemies the Sapiens were also seeded on the planet, which led the Dakamash pursuing a war of genocide against their evolutionary cousins. Their latest target being the people of the nations of Jakapan, Mendari and Politia.

Culture
In Dakamash military tactics its has been noted that they never attack during the night. It is suspected that the Dakamash lands originate on the other side of the Delmore Chasm. The Dakamash utilize tactics similar to the Roman Empire, though mount on donkeys rather than horses.

According to the Jakaparian's histories the Dakamash stop fighting before or as soon as the sun touches the horizon. As for the reason, its been proposed that the Dakamash are night blind. It's believed by Daniel Oglethorpe that the periodic raids on the human cultures by the Dakamash on Mirica are driven by a deep cultural fear originating from the past passed by their ancestors who originated from Earth, of a time when homo sapiens actively hunted their kind to extinction.
