Races

Last updated: 7 Jan 2025

People in Tisal Thulu don't really recognize such a thing as our modern idea of race. Their understanding is more around family groups and language groups. However, different regions have different dominant features and certainly distinct clothing.

Where geographic boundries brush up against each other, especially on the same land mass, the looks of the people merge and blend - there is seldom a sharp change in appearance and culture unless there is a physical boundary like a body of water or a mountain range.

Northern Peoples of the East

Alturians

The Alturians are originally northern people from the regions of Thul Macha, though they have spread in dominant numbers over Evrik Thum and Wemtur Thul.

They are known as contented farmers and hunters who are difficult to rile into violence... but once they are, they are brave and formidable.

Far Northern Island Peoples

Senmi

The Senmi (there are many other names for these groups, but this is a blanket term) are descended from raiding tribes, and their culture still reflects aspects of fierce loyalty, strong concepts of vengeance and duty, and cold exteriors that match the harsh and unforgiving conditions in which they live.

They are known to be fierce and harsh in battle, cold and curt in commerce, but can cut loose in festival celebrations that leave them almost unrecognizable to those who deal with them in other situations.

Herrut

The Herrut are also descended from raiding tribes of the past, but have embraced many of the southern, more 'civilized' ways of living, putting much more value on constructing more comfotable and defensible homes, on using dogs to expand trade, and displaying a warmer disposition to those with whom they trade and interact.

They are known to be skilled negotiators, efficient (sometimes frugal) in their use of resources, and careful to have something set aside, in a secret place, to help in times of emergency or hardship.
