Kendari

Physical Description: Kendari possess naturally tan skin and eyes that match different shades of red and blue. Their hair is often black, dark brown, and very rarely their hair will be a dirty blonde. More often than not, Kendari warriors are covered with scars due to their belief that scars show a person’s history upon their body.

Society: Corta Diez hosts one large metropolis which most of the Kendari live in, choosing to side with their deity and king rather than run astray. Those living in the society are taught from a young age necromatic arts, along with a means to defend themselves.

Relations: Other races do not particularly like the Kendari, regarding their nature and very being as evil. While this is true in most cases, there are some that get along with other races, and some races do value the strengths and savagery of these outsiders. Namely, Orcs and the more tribal of humans like the Kendari and adopt them into their societies.

Alignment and Religion: On Corta Diez, there is only one allowed religion for those of the Kendari race, and that is the worship of their Godking. He created the plane, and demanded his creations to worship him else he’d lay waste to those who refused. Kendari are typically anywhere from Lawful Evil to Chaotic Evil.

Adventurers: Many paths stretch out before the Kendari and while some strive towards martial perfection and become fighters, and others strive for magical perfection and become wizards, there are those who choose the path of the Magi and find themselves most comfortable with this option. Still, other paths stretch out before the Kendari that they might take.
