Bhanakhirans

The Bhanakhirans are natives of southern Libynos, in the forests, jungles, and coastal regions west of the Hollow Spire Mountains. They primarily live in cities along the coast and in towns and villages within the interior, usually near rivers. Tribes in the Yingozi Woodlands and the northern part of the Mengamuk Forest often have some Bhanakhiran ancestors, and so may have similar features. Other than merchants and traders, few Bhanakhirans leave their homeland.
Most Bhanakhirans have golden-brown skin the color of amber, with straight, dark hair that ranges mostly from dark brown to black. Their eyes are primarily brown or black. On occasion, reddish-brown hair and deep green eyes are seen, which may be evidence of some Hyperborean ancestry. They tend to be shorter than average, though taller than the people of Jaati. Plumpness is considered a mark of wealth and status among these folk.
They speak a language known as Bhanikhat, largely a unique tongue of the region, though there is clear evidence of Hyperborean influence from the years of that empire’s colonial period in southern Libynos. As a result, anyone who has studied High Boros should be able to understand simple phrases and words in Bhanikhat.
