Zingonian (3.5e Race)

Zingonians

Personality

Zingonians are naturally curious and often go off without reason when in a party of companions but usually return being loyal to those they consider friends though when they return can sometimes be as random as when they leave.

Physical Description

Zingonians are normally around 6'-8' in height with females rarely getting taller than 7'. Zingonians are catlike humanoids in appearance having fluffy tales and ears as well as claws and sometimes are even know to have scale-like tough skin if they have chosen to bond their with a dragon. Zingonians also have catlike fangs and are also covered with a very thin layer of fur. Zingonians live for centuries and for some reason stop aging around the age of 30 and usually live to be around 1000 though some have been known to live longer than that usually due to being soul bound with a dragon or fey creature. Zingonians consider themselves to be an adult as of age 8 and are given full freedom to choose what to do with their life from that though many don't choose to leave for a pilgrimage until

Relations

Zingonians are respectful of all races but refuse to speak anything of their origins to non-zingonians unless they truly without doubt trust someone and even then they swear that person to secrecy upon pain of being hunted down by the Zingonian. Zingonians are also natural allies to good and neutral aligned dragons and the fey and are known to protect the earth's natural areas much like a druid would. Because of their race being as it is most Zingonians are confused about power struggles and things such as envy or greed but know pride and wrath very well when speaking of their own society. Sometimes when a Zongonian comes to age (8 years old) They choose to bond their soul with a dragon and fey creature that they have spent time with if the creature itself agrees. Soul binding for a dragon is usually done so the dragon may see through the Zingonians eyes and travel without ever having to leave its home and will only rarely ever leave with its soul bound partner while Fey creatures usually agree to binds themselves so that they may travel with their friends and not get separated from each other.

Alignment

Zingonians are usually neutral or good in nature and almost are never evil in a case one turns evil and Zingonia finds out The King of Zingonia Sends out the Zingonian Guardian as well as hunting parties to track down and kill the evil Zingonian making sure their own secrets are not revealed and that the evil one doesn't cause too much trouble in the world.

Lands

Zingonians live in the secret mountain kingdom of Zingonia which is home of Zingonians, Dragons and many fey cratures where they live and grow together in a society where everyone helps and provides for each other equally all to protect the Earth's Heart. Zingonia is also known to have living crystalline trees that bear a crystalline fruit that's said to taste divine to those that can break its skin and many Zingonians are known to take these fruits with them when they travel missing them dearly when they leave as Zingonia is the only place they will grow. Zingonians houses are typically made of a type of crystal or gem that they shape themselves into their home and are usually made of diamond, sapphire, topaz, emerald, ruby and other such crystals and are even known to make weapons from these.

Religion

Zingonians worship no gods but pay homage to the earth and earthen spirits often thanking the earth for growth food and shelter or thanking the water spirits for good water even thanking animals they kill for providing food.
