Fanalis

The Fanalis are a hunting tribe from the Dark Continent to the south.

Somewhat similar in appearance to humans, the Fanalis all have a striking red color to their hair. Nomadic in nature they are often seen traveling in bands as protectors of caravans and sometimes are sought after to protect the sultanate of the different cities.

Male fanalis often stand at heights of 6' to 7'6" which is drastic compared to the females of the race who stand at 5' to 5'6". Their appearance is uncanny though as they all have a striking reddish-pink hair color and eye color, and tend to have tanned-looking skin that ranges from fair-to-dark to very dark.

Due to their faster-than-normal metabolism they tend to be quite lean but it is not unusual to see them with more muscular builds. They have them a fair strength advantage over other races as well. They are said to be descendants of an ancient race of red-skinned giants in their oldest roots throughout the Great Rift of Alma Torran. Their power comes with a weakness though as they tend to have very low reserves of mana.
