Tal'Nadir

Commonly refered to as "The Ancients".

Biology

The Tal'Nadir are a digitigrade humanoid species. Due to this somewhat unusual anatomy they don't use chairs.

Burial Practices

The Tal'Nadir believed that one could sometimes communicate with the departed through their propperly conserved skull.
To this end, when burying beloved or important figures, the Tal'Nadir kept the skull apart. It was engraved and sometimes even inlayed with precious metals or gems. The skull was then kept in a safe place, along with other skulls of the same social group.

Average Height

6 to 7 ft. Sometimes even taller.
