The last remaining people of the Long-Ago Departed Vandr Race. Only a small portion remains in the Homeland among the Northern Clans of Kuayu, Ganuyi, Loshuao, Siwohdi; only an estimated 3 million. They Still cling to their ancient language of "Vandush" (in Vandush), but better known to the Iltanyu as "Mavahntu" (in Iltantu), and the speakers are known as "Vahndenyu" by the Iltanyu.
The Vahndenyu are the most different of all the Races of the Homeland and are rather very picky about only having children of pure Vahndenyu Blood be born. If a Vahndenyu Woman gives birth to a child that is not from a Vahndenyu Man, the Child is banished and removed from the family, and the Woman loses her chance to have children for her life.

Other features Vahndenyu are a fair skinned, skinny, tall race, with a vibrant assortment of Hair and eye colors that the Iltanyu do not have. They have smaller pointy noses, with long faces. Large lips for both men and women, but more so for women. They have smaller ears that have distinctly smooth attached earlobes. The men have no facial hair until late 40's, some even later. They have very skinny limbs and are almost never seen to have chubby bellies or even fat around the neck or cheeks, no matter how lazy and gluttonous One Vahndenyu may become. Many people see them as starving they are so thin and tall, but they are suprisingly agile and muscular for their appearances.
Abstracts The most unique feature of the Vahndenyu is that the Women cannot become pregnant more than twice in their life. There is some sort of mechanism that shuts the ovaries down after the second pregnancy begins. They are, however, very likely to have sets of Twins, Triplets, and even Quadruplets at a time; The children are almost exclusively Fraternal Twins, and Rarely Identical. The most common Vahndenyu woman can expect to have Triplets her first time, and then a pair of Twins. Despite the limitation of only 2 pregnancies in their lifetime. They rarely ever have fewer than 3 children. (3 or less is usually looked at with caution, and limits the children from finding successful mates; but 5 or more is looked at with great attraction and woman who bear so many are sought after greatly).
