Faldra are one of the nine civilized races native to Arginium.

Background[edit | edit source]

Physical Description[edit | edit source]

Faldra stand slightly shorter than Human males. They are best identified by their hooved feet, the furry lower bodies and the wild, dark hair on their heads from which a small pair of horns protrude. Their upper bodies and facial structure would allow them to pass for Humans were it not for the varied coloration of their skin, which can be combinations of pale blue and green hues as well as orange and gold. Males tend to be wiry and muscular, while the females are more lithe and slender. They are one of the fastest races where running is concerned.

Culture[edit | edit source]

The Faldra are open-minded, friendly and very outgoing people. They make for exceptional entertainers and musicians, and were responsible for the design and creation of several of the wind and string instruments of modern society. They live in clans which share a common name - usually in reference to an object or feature near their home - but otherwise have simple given names. They worship their own take on Temprus, calling Him the "Great Tender", venerating His gifts of the bounty of the natural world.
