The Usefari, originating from The continent of Ra'dishra, are above else a proud people. And rightly so: The strength of their nation is due to the sophistication of their culture, their economic power and the overall resilience and strength of will of their people. For indeed the Usefari people have settled a majority of the continent of Ra'dishra under the strong rulership of the Tibeshu Dynasty.

The Usefari are tall and lean with dark skin and dark hair. Their eye colour varies like that of any other human race and ranges from dark brown over greens and blues to light grey. Rarely a child is born with golden eyes and these individuals are held in high regard by the Usefari. It is said that the power of
Ayanatu the Blade runs through these humans and they are indulged by their communities: revered, served and trained to fulfill high posts in society, regardless of their parents' standing.

Ideals
by Adrian Wilkins
Usefari are slender and athletic by nature. Every Usefari will take care to look orderly unless they are working. There is no shame in looking rough from a day of hard work. But whenever Usefari would attend a congregation or invite guests, even the simplest peasant would be washed and wear clean clothes. Even if these clothes are the only ones they own for such occasions.
Men tend to shave their faces and use oils to keep the skin soft. Women will often put beads in their hair but otherwise wear their curly hair proudly.
