Colundulian

Traits
Colundulians are easily distinguished by their long and slender ears, pointed at the ends. They stand at typical human heights and their builds come in as many varieties as humans and Nocturnals. Their skin is generally rather pale and they don't typically grow any facial hair, male or female alike. Depending on the part of Colundul they come from, their hair and eye colors will differ. Most from the west are fair haired and light eyed, while those to the east are darker haired and typically have dark colored eyes.

Lifespan
100-110 years.

Culture and Society
Much like humans and Nocturnals, the Colundulians live in a very social society. They have built technologically advanced cities but keep to themselves and don't share their findings. Ever since the Red Rain began to fall, the Colundulians have isolated themselves from their neighboring countries more than usual. Because they are chiefly Kefnalan with a strong bent toward the god of the Underworld, they are extremely reverent towards necromancers. They are in the highest positions of power and several serve under the king himself in an organized group. Colundulians truly do treat Groundlings as they do any other citizen. It is Shifters they keep as slaves and pets, even holding bi-yearly tournaments to test their skills. It should be noted that their technological advancements also include alchemy.

History
Colundul has been around longer than Nalavigne. In fact, some scholars say that Nalavigne was mostly Colundul in the beginning but the Nalavigne people conquered more and more land until the wall and the outpost were built between them to stop the invasions. Colundul and Nalavigne are bitter enemies; Colundul is also seen as the enemy because of their unwillingness to aid Nalavigne once the Red Rain began to fall.

Lore
Colundulians celebrate deaths with solemn songs and also believe that the dead risen back even by a necromancer are sacred creatures--not something their neighboring countries agrees with. They believe in constantly moving forward and have a great love of music and technology, as well as sharing their information with each other. However, they are very suspicious of outsiders and tend to call humans and Nocturnals derogatory names. They pride themselves on being a haven for Groundlings.

Religion
Kefnalan mostly, but with a very strong leaning towards Usoth, the god of the Underworld, whose entrance is said to be somewhere in Colundul, just as the lore says it can be found in Nalavigne. Colundulians call those tales bull.

Abilities
They tend to be much more inclined to creating new inventions and adapting quickly to technological advancements than any other race. They also have a very good ear for music and thus are home to a larger host of lyromancers.

Restrictions
None.
