Bokaroki
Referred to as the children of the gods by many religions, Bokaroki are in many ways the fluctuating life force of Auzu. All living creatures that are neither Latter Kin nor Divergent Kin can be classified as a Bokaroko from the smallest insect to the largest dragon. Though some may simply call them wild animals or beasts of the land, such terms utterly fail to represent the astonishing complexity inherent across Bokaroki as a whole. Many species possess intelligence that surpasses that of any Latter Kin, with their own developed cultures and societies usually far removed from Latter Kin settlements.
Industry and cultivation are not commonly found among most Bokaroki, though some have come to mirror Latter Kin in this regard. It is in their nature to live and grow within the wilderness of Auzu while changing it as little as possible. It is this quality that many monks of the Bokad strive to reproduce in their relationships with Bokaroki, living harmoniously with both the land and its original inhabitants.
