Mouflons

The Mouflon people can be generally compared to a blend of Tibetan and Nepalese ancient society and members of Caprinae biological subfamily.
Mouflons are one of the fifty-five races of anthropomorphic mammals that populate Yanìs, and are grouped in the subgenus of Ungulates together with Deers, Horses and Zebras.

Physically, they are of medium height and sturdy build, with a height that can reach more than 6 feet and a weight that can reach even more than 150 Kg. The coat color is variable: in winter, it's dark brown, although it can be any shade between brown and beige, but in summer it takes on more red tones. The belly is yellowish-white or grayish, and between the white belly and the dark-colored sides, there are two black or brown stripes, one on each side. Finally, the buttocks and tail are white. A feature of males is the presence on the skull of two large fixed horns on a bone base, which have constant growth with a tendency to spiral in a lateral direction. More rarely, reduced horns may be present in females.

There is little evidence on the Mouflon people origins, but it is known that initially it was composed of nomadic gatherers from the northernmost areas. Their people's history before the Tale mostly relies on oral tradition since writing had not yet been widely introduced, and often merges with myth elements. The one considered as the true founder of the Mouflons' kingdom was Songtsen Gampo, the thirty-third ruler of his dynasty, who unified clans.
Having ascended the throne about fifty years before the Tale, he moved the capital to Rhaza south of Uhn La Goiri mount, was the first to introduce public teaching of writing, and was also the one who started the building of gompas: first Zantist lay temples. Their kingdom kept its golden period until the ruler Ralpacan, considered the third of the so-called dharma kings (a term that has numerous meanings and can be rendered as "Duty", "Law", "Cosmic Law", or "Natural Law") for his contribution to the spread of Zantist asceticism and for being a signatory of a peace treaty with Kibaya, which marked the historical boundaries between the two kingdoms.

The Mouflon people have a rich culture, and traditional festivals such as Losar, Shoton, Linka, and the so-called Bathing Festival are deeply rooted in their culture. Everyone takes part in the Bathing Festival three times: at birth, at marriage, and at the moment of death because it's a traditional belief that bathing should not be done randomly but only for the most important occasions. Mouflons' art is deeply spiritual by nature, from exquisitely detailed statues found in gompas to wood carvings or intricate designs of thangka paintings. Mouflons' art can be found in almost every object and aspect of daily life. The popular opera known as Ache Lhamo is a combination of dances, chants, and songs, the repertoire of which is drawn from narratives and history.
