History[edit]
The Na'vi are a species native to the lush moon of Pandora. For centuries, they lived in harmony with their environment, deeply connected to the land and its spiritual energies. However, the arrival of human colonizers brought significant changes, leading to conflicts over resources and the preservation of their way of life.
Society[edit]
The Na'vi live in tribes scattered across Pandora's vast landscapes. Each tribe is led by a clan chieftain and governed by spiritual leaders known as Tsahìk and Olo'eyktan. They have a deep respect for their ancestral traditions and the interconnectedness of all living things. Their society is structured around communal values, where every member contributes to the well-being of the tribe.

After leveling up while bonded with a beast, you are considered Proficient in connecting your braid to that specific creature. That is, you don't need to make any tests again if you want to connect with this creature. This only applies to wild creatures, since it is natural for them to not allow a stranger to touch them. In the case of creatures that have already been domesticated, it is likely that you will not face too many problems in making the connection. There are animals that accept connection with different individuals, and there are those that accept only one leader, such as the Ikrans, with the first connection being essential to establish a bond with this second type of creature, as they are usually loyal to their masters until death.
