Bassal

While certainly not as large or imposing as some of the other races upon Te'za, these individuals certain have the brawn and strength to take punishment and deal it back all the same. Not blessed with the grace or the swiftness of some of the other ethnicities of the Liev'tani, these larger individuals instead embody the strength and often times the bass tones that music needs. Once again, underestimating these lovers of music can be fatal for those who doubt their fighting strength.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

A bit in-between their two cousins, these individuals neither value the natural beauty of nature and mud, but also do not (in most cases) wish to dress up like the posh or prissy naga'tani they often deal with. These individuals find themselves usually in the middle section of dress and beauty, more humble, but functional.

Courtship Ideals

Usually punching, a fight, or otherwise proving one's worth to the other
