Serenza

Serenza is a collective term for the numerous different humanoid races and species that populate Mencu. While some, such as the Arakos and the Serenghe, have remained nearly the same since their creation, others such as the Kasil and the Vartiz have evolved over time into various races. Ultimately, any sentient bipedal social creatures could be theoretically classified as Serenza, although where the line is drawn is sometimes debated, particularly as to whether or not Tzengua are included in this classification or not.

Origins
The name Serenza is of Jalengan origin, and it shares the same root with the word they would use for their artificially-produced race, the Kumenza. As to the origins of the Serenza themselves, they were created by a myraid of gods and goddesses, with the Kasil Pantheon being responsible for the Kasil and their descendants; and the Vartiz Pantheon creating the Vartiz and the races that would descend from them. The Arakos were created by the god Leaxyk, while the Serenghe were brought into being by a goddess name Shenhua.
