Lothie

-It'll take just a second, no need to cry for the gods, she says. Her hand has a firm but gentle grip on my wrist as she draws some blood from my thumb. Her own pumping visibly beneath the slightly translucent skin. What a sign of life, of the miraculous machines our bodies are when you can see it keeping this person alive. This person who will no doubt live far beyond my years.

— Gallivanter

Lesse, Queni and Rulan all share Lothie ancestry, or "Uraldig" as their predecessors were called. Lothie has excellent darkvision and a quiet gait, making them superior for stealth operations.
