Information
Neffari (neh-far-rE) are humans from the deserts of Morashtar, these people have sienna brown, to earth brown skin. They have straight black hair, and dark brown, blue, or green eyes. They are an honor based society and hold honor within their customs, laws, and on a personal level very highly. This often leads to a stubborn sense of pride and that pride may lead to fanatacism of their laws, beliefs and customs in some cases. They observe the cycles of chaos as a guiding force and a religion and this balances those who observe the cycles of nature keenly within themselves. Their people have Kings who rule over a territory, which they guard as sacred. Their heirarchy goes like this: King, Prince, Queen, High Regent, Regent, Noble, Lord, Knight, Chieftain, Warrior, Soldier, Vassal. Each tribe, nomadic or not, is lead by a chieftain, and the tribe resides in the territory of a Neffari King and his nobles. Kingship falls to the heirarchy if a king dies, is killed, or grows incompetent. Some Neffari societies are corrupt, and others are not. Some Tribes are nomadic, others are not. A nomadic tribe from one kingdom, which enters the territory of another King, can be subject to questioning by the kingdom's knights or warriors, and if their presence in that domain is held suspect, the tribal chieftain will be taken before the King, while warriors guard the tribe. A tribe may only pass through the territory they are crossing, or remain in that territory, if the King permits it, otherwise the tribe must turn back and leave the territory they have infringed on. Meanwhile, their chieftain may be imprisoned, depending on what the king suspects or has discovered. This stems from ages of tribal and territorial warfare, and the fact that the Neffari guard their domains diligently, and are known to conquer other kingdoms. Lifespan of up to 200 years. These people speak Shamaa, and Esurian, and some have picked up Cenys and English.
