Affelaune
|
|
Affelaune are found in the highlands of the southeastern region of the Danoshorvas
continent and in the northern ranges of the Ullushorvas continent. Most Affelaune
tribes are small but highly migratory scavengers.
|
|
|
|
APPEARANCE & DRESS
|
|
|
|
Affelaune are short but sturdily built humanoids descended from the Var. They typically
stand between three and five feet tall and weigh in between 80 to 185 pounds.
|
|
|
|
There is some variation in appearance among Affelaune of different tribes, but as
a general rule the Affelaune have bronzed skin, brown hair and brown eyes. They
are scavengers and thus generally dress either in simple hides that they can make
themselves or in something they've managed to scavenge.

|
GENERAL CHARACTER
|
|
|
|
Affelaune generally aren't very bright and seldom think beyond what they need to
do to find their next meal. Despite their lack of cleverness, they can be quite
cunning and are capable ambushers.
|
|
|
|
Few Affelaunes befriend people of other races, and few people of other races would
seek out an Affelaune as a companion, but some Affelaune are able to overcome their
people's shortcomings and seek out a better life for themselves, or else are cast
out for some slight and must make survive outside of their natural habitat and intermingle.
Most that have had extended interaction with Affelaunes find them to be very trying
on ones' patience and generally annoying.

ORIGINS & ORGANIZATION
|
|
|
|
Affelaune are tribal, but don't identify very strongly even with their own tribe,
and its not uncommon for Affelaunes to decide to shift into some other group of
Affelaune whenever two such groups meet. An Affelaune might shift from one "tribe"
to the next as the winds of chance meetings and their whims take them.

PACKAGE DEAL
|
|
Affelaunes (AFF-el-lohns) are small but voracious humanoids that are
aggressive in numbers but generally ineffective singly that live in hill
land areas arranged in small extended family groups. |
|
Small concentrations can live semi peacefully with more powerful
neighbors, but if they grow too numerous they start spreading like gophers.
They have voracious appetites and this drives them to steal food and
over-hunt. When they run out of food their appetites can eventually drive
them to start attacking other sentient races just for their food. |
