The Zu'ar (part of the Rhun
Realms)
Another of the old races, though somewhat younger than the Prang, who survived the Night of the Fallen. The Zu'ar are a genetic offshoot of the Prang, but slightly shorter (7 1/2'), with only two arms, and occasionally they have leathery wings. They tend to have much softer, less predatory features as well, and in fact can be quite beautiful in a reptilian way. They can range in color from gentle orange to earthy yellow. Both male and female Zu'ar regularly use a soft blue pigment as a make-up to accentuate their bone structure. The Zu'ar excel at agrarian jobs, as well as being performers, explorers. Some know the ways of Cha'ni -- a dancing magic form, that requires precise dance and humming, that is both subtle and beautiful. The Zu'ar tend to hold no ill will against any of the races, save the Hoshen, who have hunted them for sport for many years. The are conflicted with the Prang, whom they would like to make peace with, but whom have committed so many atrocities against the Zu'ar for generations. They feel a kinship with the Zirtese for they both follow the true ways of Rhun, and find the Pontari beautiful, and the Mayedans delightfully odd. They like the Drenas, but find them too "grounded" to really relate to. They avoid the Azor on principal, and greatly fee the Azor-Naraza for their enslavement/slaughter of others.
