Nanos: Keb

Description

The Keb are a variety of the Nanos race that has adapted to the harsh arid climate of the Senu Desert. Stout and muscular in build, they average 4 feet in height and 120 to 150 lbs in weight. The complexion of their skin ranges from olive to a dark bronze with either brown, green, or hazel eyes. Both male and female Keb are bald, with adult males growing large, thick beards of curly hair that are typically braided into a pointed goatee. Stereotypically, Keb are seen by other races as a brave and highly pragmatic people; however, they are also as avaricious and distrustful of outsiders. A notable exception to their general aloofness are the Kebs' long-standing friendly relations with the Gnomi; the more gregarious people often live among the Keb as a merchant middle-man class who export the products of the industrious Keb to the larger world, while importing rarities from all across Tel to their pyramid complexes in the Senu Desert.
