Qaemedi

The Qaemedi are a minor but widely known race within the Orient. Whilst they are Human-like - and distantly related to them and their Elven relatives (as well as the Limjiang, with the Qaemedi, Limjiang and the Proto-Elves all having evolved from the Proto-Torgyrians) - the Qaemedi have several characteristics that set them apart from the Elves and Humans: their very dark skin tones (often black), eye colour that varies between brown and golden (the latter being considered a sign of nobility), and small horns at the top of their heads at no other Torgyrian race has.

Historically, the Qaemedi dominated the land that is occupied by the Kingdom of Shíd today, but the Shíd migration led to the widespread enslavement and displacement of the Qaemedi - those who could not flee their invaded homeland were enslaved, while those who did, split into two groups: those who insisted on becoming a diasporic nation of wanderers spread around the world, and those who would try to build a new homeland for the Qaemedi people. No unified Qaemedi state exists today (sovereign Qaemedi live in city-states, most of which are matriarchies, with a few exceptions), and the various Qaemedi languages have a limited amount of mutual intelligibility between each other. Even the aforementioned Qaemedi city-states are spread accross the Orient, with only a few small kingdoms manging to rule over a larger area.

Biology
Qaemedi have a natural lifespan of around a century, generally living a few decades longer than Humans on average. While the majority of species - especially humanoid or sentient ones - have only two sexes (male and female), Qaemedi actually have six or seven, depending on how someone counts:
 * Regular, feminine women
 * Regular, masculine men
 * "Ultramasculine" men who can only be conceived by a man breeding with a hermaphrodite whose gonads produce eggs.
 * Sterile feminine men, who live longer than other Qaemedi
 * Hermaphrodites with overall feminine physique but male sexual organs, gonads producing sperm
 * Truly intersex hermaphrodites who are sterile
 * Hermaphrodites with overall feminine physique but male sexual organs, gonads producing eggs, thus capable of getting pregnant

Around 75% of their population belongs to the regular male/female portion, while the remaining 25% are hermaphrodites of various types.
