Tian-La

The Tian-La are a semi-nomadic group who live in the northwestern Tian-Xia realm of Hongal, beyond the Wall of Heaven (known locally as the Qiang Tian). Compared with the other Tian ethnicities, they have curlier hair and paler skin, and consider the others', more sedentary, lifestyle a sign of weakness. Their bodies are also generally more muscular and stockier, and they have moon-shaped faces. Their leaders are known to keep a breed of thylacine, called blood cougars, as pets and hunting animals.
