The Zylarians are a group native to Zylara. They follow a female dominate structure. The women hunt, lead, and host spiritual gatherings. The men build, and protect the village.

The women can range from 7'0" to 7'6" in height, while the men can range from 6'8" to 7'2".

Jila is 7'4" tall. She is a huntress and is highly respected by her tribe.

Their day and night cycles are not like that on earth. The yellow star, Anika, is what represents the day cycle, lasting in the sky for twelve hours, casting a normal light on the facing hemisphere. The blue dwarf star, Junika, is what they consider the night cycle, which lasts twenty-four hours, casting a soft blue on the facing hemisphere. Being 'nocturnal' creatures, the Zylarians will dominate during Junika and seek shelter and rest during Anika.

Rarely will the two stars dominate the same sky, they call it Ashinka, lasting only a few hours at the most.
