Homebrew Khijaraan Species Details
Natives to the isolated island of Khijara, this feline race was one of the first beings to be made by the gods and goddesses of an alternate Greater Earth. Although their existence stems to the beginning of time, the Khijaraan race has lived in abject isolation from the rest of the world at the start of the Great War, having settled away from the continent of Greater Earth far in the northern regions. It is because of this isolation that the Khijaraans have long been forgotten by the people of Greater Earth for many centuries. It wasn't until the third age of Greater Earth where the Khijaraan race began to journey across the sea back to Greater Earth, and mingle with its people. Khijaraans are naturally talented in agility, and have adapted to survive the frozen conditions of their proclaimed homeland. Khijaraan culture stems heavily in trade and tradition, but while they might be more known for their word, their proficiency in combat is nothing to scoff at. Sneaky and guile, many well proclaimed assassins come from this race. Although their mannerisms may be found backwards to the denizens of Greater Earth, the Khijaraan people are worthwhile compatriots.
