Qral

Qral are a humanoid race native top the Northeastern regions of Dekrain. They are a semi nomadic race living mostly in the boreal forest and mountain regions. They have a deep connection with nature, and make strong efforts to preserve it.

Physiology

Qral are very similar to appearance to humans. The first thing is their skin, mainly light brown with splotches of dark brown and green patterned on their skin, forming a natural woodland camouflage. This enables them to blend into their environments.

Nomads

The Qral are a semi nomadic people, moving around the great boreal forests of Dekrain. They have some permanent locations including sacred temples, Tennu'tret, and burial groves. Otherwise, they move around, settling in one area of the forest until its resources are almost depleted, then moving in to an new location. They rely on a mixture of hunting and gathering, using animals for food, clothing and other necessities.

Warfare

The Qral can be fiercely territorial, especially when it comes to their sacred sites. When someone intrudes on their territory, the first method is always negotiation. If a peaceful solution is possible they will strive for it. When peace fails, the Qral can be fierce opponents, and their opponents rarely stand a chance when fighting in the forests. A combination of Guerilla tactics, deadly use of the environment, and uncanny method of camouflage make them deadly warriors. Qral resistance is what halted the conquest of the Red Lion, slowing the invading armies progress of domination by wearing them down using Guerrilla warfare and powers of the forest, until they lost momentum and opposing forces began resisting.

Talithaex

When a warrior or hunter is seen to be exceptionally skilled or promising, they can be recruited into the Talithaex. The Talithaex are a special order of Qral that guard the Qral, their territory, and the forest against threats, both mortal and monster. The Talithaex are trained for years, becoming extraordinary at Bows, staffs and bladed weapons. They are given cloaks that make them virtually invisible, unable to detect in by eyes or magic. The Talithaex are experts a tracking both man and beast, and can deal with both efficiently. They appear when a tribe faces a threatening beast spawned from the darks of the forest, or when something threatens the Qral's sacred locations. They also serve as a special force complimenting the Qral warriors in times of war, carrying out dangerous tasks. They are held in high respect in the Qral, and just as highly feared by outsiders.
