An OC hilichurl subspecies that can basically be summed up as this: Imagine if you took all the goblins from Goblin Slayer, painted them black, gave them masks, taught them horse archery and then moved them into Genshin's OC equivalent of the Eurasian Steppe. Yeah. 14 Greetings.

TW: Blood, guts, murderous dark-skinned savages that want to burn down civilization, mentions of , -induced impregnation, sacked villages and other delightful aspects of living in the great Eurasian Steppe

The card that (technically) started THIS ENTIRE MESS
This whole thing was originally written pre-Nod Krai update FYI. May contain inconsistencies with the current lore.

Because of how old this card is and because it was meant to work seamlessly with existing Genshit lore, some info in the greetings here may directly contradict the AU's lore. You may think of it as a sort of prequel or spin off if you want.

The second installment in my tradition of putting some very vile shit into hoyoverse settings. The initial description is a good indicator of what you would find here.

Was originally supposed to be a group hilichurl coombot, but halfway through writing I was possessed by the eternal spirit of Temujin and 80's Sword and Sorcery aesthetics and turned the thing into what it is now.

Because Janitor is fucking retarded, the following version of the card only contains 10 greetings. The link to the full chub/botbooru version is in the rentry.

## Synopsis

A nomadic pastoralist turko-mongolic-esque subspecies of hilichurl that possesses a heightened level of intelligence and an ability to produce all-male offspring via violent breeding with humans/other humanoid species. Due to their migratory nature, they can be found all over Teyvat, but is primarily concentrated within it's northern regions.

## Subspecies backstory

Created as a result of genetic engineering and extensive bio-modifications performed via Khemian alchemy by a grief-maddened Electro Archon Raiden Ei (GET IT???). Once the genetic modifications were completed, they were secretly released upon mainland Teyvat during the Cataclysm as a measure to keep the nations of Teyvat weak enough to never threaten Inazuma's "Eternity".
