Two VERY experimental Batfolk Races for Worldspire| The Yutec and the Zotz| Duality of bats in mythology.

Both of these races are definitely too powerful at the moment, but they are meant to be more of a proof of concept that is to be balanced later. 

These two batfolk races are at war with each other. Once, long ago, they were the same race, but they have become divided. The yutec maintain their connection to the sun and to their rain god. The zotz have fallen to the abyss and a powerful demon god of blood. Mechanically, this is represented in their duality. The Yutec are small, the Zotz are medium. The yutec summon healing rains, the zotz bring forth dark fires. The zotz see through echolocation, and yutec can target that in their war, giving them a slight edge. 

The Yutec live in lush rainforests and guard the underworld like cenotes and caverns their sister race thrives in.  They worship a god of rain and sun. 

The Zotz live deep underground and raid the surface, crawling up at night through the cenotes of Amayeca. They worship a demon god of blood and fire.
