Physical Description

The Ben-Abbas are humanoids with a thin bony chest, tan skin, long arms with a clawed four-fingered hand. They have silted pupils in a yellow iris with the rest of the eye black. Their hair comes in a variety of colors from red to grey to white to black. They also have large fox-like tails that are the same color as their hair. Many Ben-Abbas sport tattoos and other tribal decorations.

Relations

The Ben-Abba, due to the fact that they often live in dangerous marshes, they rarely see other races. This has lead to the Ben-Abbas to be suspicious of other being intruding on their lands. Also due to their isolation they have very little ties to the other races of the world, and so leads them to be very forced on their their tribe and not to think of the rest of the world and even there race that are in far off lands.

Lands

The Ben-Abbas dwell in the swamps and marshlands of the world. They tend to live in more tropical areas, but there are many tribes that live in temperate climates. They build their huts on stilts to protect them from the raising water of the marshlands.
