**The Chept**

The Chept, the Favored Ones of the River God, the Animal-headed Alliance. All of these names describe a part of the fiercely independent tribes that make up the major inhabitants of Water World. There are six races in Chept society, and five of them freely intermingle within a single tribe. Although they cannot cross-breed and therefore remain as distinct family groups, tribes identify more with another race of Chept within their own tribe than they do an outsider of their own race.

Each of the six races within the many tribes of the Chept are described below:
