Merowen

The Merowen are a widely-dispersed ethnic group that includes the people of Axuum, Aethiope, Imya, Kazania, Meroë, Qesh, and the former country of Nubara. They usually have skin with the dark reddish-brown to brown-black colors of peppercorns, and black hair with tight curls. Their eyes are usually dark brown, though they may be black or (rarely) dark green. Most Merowen tend to be taller than average.
Though styles differ widely among the various cultures that include the Merowen folk, women in general often wear their hair loose or in a scarf or multiple braids, while men usually keep their hair short or even shave their heads. Many men choose to be cleanshaven, and if beards are worn, they tend to be kept short and thin.
Deferring to the dominant culture in the region, most Merowen speak Khemitian, though Kazania managed to retain its own language.
Merowen travelers can be found as far as large cities in northern Khemit, while their traders typically venture along the Ruby Sea, south to the Channel Lakes and the northern Reaping Coast, and east to the Boiling Sea.
