Kanchen
Kanchens are beastfolk that inhabit Erania. They have leporine ears and faces, as well as a hare-like agility of movement. While they are fairly evenly distributed across Erania, they tend to favor the more rural parts of the continent, where they have gained a reputation for herb lore. Small villages in the rural parts of Erania, like the Auldenwood or the Varenrych Mountains, often have a kanchen established as the wise person the other villagers go to for healing or counsel.

Leporine agility. Your speed is either 25 feet or 35 feet. You choose your speed when you select this race.
