Kireza (kee-reh-za)

Thought to be descended from the wind itself, kireza are swift as rushing water and twice as quiet. Their lilac skin is smooth and hard to the touch, not unlike marble, and the horns that protrude from their heads and backs are rough like granite. Everything about their appearance, from their face-framing horns to their digitigrade legs and clawed fingers, looks as though it was swept back by the wind at great speed. They are born from the earth as a result of the unpredictable radiation from astral ore, and their bodies last approximately sixty years before disintegrating into stone. This unnatural life cycle means they have little in the way of connecting culture between one another. Kireza often adopt the trappings of the first civilization they encounter after they are born.
