Tesz'jat

Unity and balance-seeking Tesz'tskaa ethnicity that adheres to Zih'ra traditions originating from the city-state of Zih'rakan deep in the center of the Desert of Whispering Winds. Most Tesz'jat roam the Desert of Whispering Winds and the Waste of Long Silences in search of H'ra. This ethnicity is usually recognizable by their dust brown, brownish orange or sand-colour skin, their more delicate builds, gold or amber eyes and protruding metropic ridges that becomes series of horizontal creases on the nose, as well as Tesz'ran-ressembling ridges on the cheekbones. The most common patterning of this ethnicity is stripes, although Tesz'qir blood will allow for the recessive spotting phenotype.
