The Nibir



One of the Native races of Nibiru, the Nibir are a sophisticated and cultured people, well versed in magic and the arts unlike their Terovian neighbors.

Physical Description
Their skin is midnight black, seen this way by both Terovians and Nibir alike. No hair grows on them at all. Their pale blue eyes creating a stark contrast. Lipless mouths and only 4 fingers. Knees slightly higher then elves or man and only two small slits for a nose. Adult Nibir stand between 6' -7' females being slightly taller then the males. Puberty is reached at 25 cycles, adulthood at 75, old age at 175.

Society and Culture
They show a fondness for the magical arts and bardic endeavors. Their culture honors a philosophic approach to life. An old Nibir saying is "that if you don't believe in something you will fall for anything." Hence, they all seek to find something they can believe in, a cause, a religion, an organization, etc.

Their architecture is based around hexagonal shapes and domed ceilings, making Nibir streets extremely easy to navigate.

Nibir who travel to Terova have become accustomed to the locals having a hard time telling two Nibir apart, so they have taken to the custom of wearing a symbol that represents them like a name. One Nibir female wont leave the house without a piece of pink silk tied around her forehead, while another Nibir merchant wears a large medallion with a mint leaf on it.

Government
Their capitol city, Marvala, is the seat of their core government which is ruled by a monarchy who is aided by an elected counsel. All rulings made by Queen Col Ororan are debated and swayed by the elected counsel, but she has the final say. Their military is mostly male, keeping the women to more protected tasks. Most warfare is done by coordinated magical strikes, performed by trained teams of Mages.
