Zimeran Apes Encyclopedia

Zimeran apes are a Simian society that flourished in the Jungle of Congo in Central Africa. it is believed that they were taught by their god, Eshu, who taught them how to speak, and in death, they will return to him, to serve him in the final war to gain freedom. they also believed in Ifri, the goddess of war and fertility, it is said that she was the most beautiful creature to have ever lived, and she had taught them how to defend their homeland.

they had a line of kings, but all of that were abolished when Grodd, the Eternal king of the Zimeran apes, was chosen by Eshu to be his apostle. it is said that he is one of the oldest being to have ever lived in this planet, but some doubt the truthfulness of this, as some people believed that the line of kings continued, but they acted as if it was one king all along.

Their homeland is called Zimera, located in the heart of the Jungle of Congo. they had built houses around the trunks of gigantic trees, connecting it to other houses and trees using bridges that is as sturdy as it can be. it is said that those trees have been there for as long as the apes were there, but recent studies said that those trees have only been around for around 500 years, but it is still a strange thing, because the trees were humongous, some even doubt that those trees are still alive, well, humans rarely visit Zimera, so it is hard to confirm whether it is true or not. In Zimera, there was a mount near the edge of the jungle, that mount have been carved from the inside, and it resembles a skeleton of gigantic gorilla, bearing its fangs to the lake beside it.

Zimeran warriors are one of, if not, the most feared warriors that ever existed on the planet. their armour deflected bullets, as it was made out of Vibranium. they used feathers as a means of scare tactics, and often put valuable gems on their armour and warhammers, decorating it.

as a weapon, they used warhammers as a main melee weapon. they also used flying darts that could be controlled using the huffs of the apes, they also used heavy duty guns that normal humans couldn't carry at all.

In the 1900s, the Zimeran apes already have a means of flying transportation for the royal family. it was in the early development, but they used ornithopters as a fast transportation, this will develop significantly in the coming century.

Zimeran apes have a strange culture, they often hit their chests as a means of intimidation, respect, or a threat, an example of this when an army of the British Empire cross the border of Uganda and Congo, the king and his army intimidate the army by huffing loudly, and thumping their chests. another example, is that the Zimeran apes will thump their chest when their king was walking pass them.
