Inka' Jarr (3.5e Race)

Inka' Jarr

Some say that they were born of the burning sands, others say that they were banished to the deserts by an angry deity. They claim that they were created by the gods and placed in the desert to test them, purge them, and prepare them for their eventual return to the heavens. They are a very religious people, of that there can be no doubt.

Personality

Inka' Jarr are a nomadic desert people. They don't have many visitors, but are generous and hospitable folk. They enjoy good stories, and reminisce about their histories most every night. If they are seen outside of their dwelling or hunting grounds, they would usually be found in a group, off to trade with other peoples.

The males usually weigh 120-180 lbs, and the females weigh 90-140 lbs. The Inka' Jarr have slits instead of normal noses, with inner flaps designed to keep the sand out. They also have secondary eyelids, which are tinted, making their eyes look black when the extra lids are closed. Their skin is tan, very similar to the color of sand, and looks fairly rough and dry. They also have a series of horizontal ridges across their foreheads, which lead back along their heads, narrowing gradually until they reach their spines. They are hairless, and their feet have extra skin between their toes, allowing them to traverse the dunes with relative ease. They tend to wear a series of loose fitting robes, and no shoes.
