Kethlep

An antelope centaur people, the Kethlep occupy the savannah and Equatorial regions of the planet Hartston in the Verdance. A more peaceful race than their cousins the Konnylep, they prefer to spend their energies advancing rather than fighting.

Physical Characteristics
Only slightly smaller than the Konnylep, the Kethlep are larger than the average antelope, and have tawny fur, dark skin, and slim builds. Also unlike their deer siblings, fur color and skin color are not the same.

Culture
Focused around advancement, with architecture that is roughly bronze age, they are much farther in weaponry since they have early firearms. A mostly peaceful people, they engage in trial by combat to solve conflicts but do not engage in the Konnylep wars or wars of their own. Preferring to trade their blunderbuss like firearms with their deer neighbors, they content themselves in weaponry and tech advancement, with architecture coming shortly after. They also have a concept of several genders, since all of them have horns it isn’t based on that.

Agriculture based but they don’t tend to farm wheat or rye, but vegetables and legumes. Though there is meat in their diet, it is mostly a chicken like fowl that they have domesticated. They have also domesticated a line of the leopard like animals that roam the equatorial regions and for the most part the leopards are for protection from the pack hunters.

Their government is pure democracy, and their towns are a commune like places based around an agricultural settlement. They build with stone, mortar, mud, and lumber since their bodies are ill suited for mining, and their metals and gunpowder come from large surface deposits.
