Humans, Tsa Quang

The Tsa Quang probably are the most reclusive of the human peoples. Found on the beautiful Double Isles of Odobe, they are a reserved and contemplative people.

The Tsa Quang live in a feudal system, with a few noble families ruling the peasantry. It is the highest honour to serve your Lord or Lady, who in turn serve The Empress.

Tsa Quang value military expertise and tactics as much as they value philosophy and religion. As such, you can find equally capable fighters and archers among their ranks as well as scholars and sages. Tsa Quang are of average height and have long, jet-black straight hair. Men may wear it short but among the nobility a long hairstyle is preferred and hair is usually worn in a ponytail. Women wear their hair also long and noblewomen will adorn it with jade beads and coiff it artfully. Men and women alike may colour their eyelids with kohl and women may anhance their beauty with makeup.

Tsa Quang have almond shaped eyes and their colour ranges from dark as to be almost black, over blue to light grey.

The mild and temperate climate of the twin-isles has found the way into their aesthetic as well: Tsa Quang prefer pastel colours, rounded shapes and overall try to live in harmony with the land, trying not to exploit it.
