The Nesstren are one of the three "Chosen Races" of Alrak. They are mammals who rely on sound to function and come from the night world of Loph. They are one of the most numerous of the races because of the speed at which they mature and how many young they have in a single batch. The Nesstren are one of the most hateful races in the commune, and they despise all others. The Nesstren Empire is offically known as the Nervikaia Degeira, but more commonly known as the Nesstren Empire.
