Tretharri

Source: Legendary Planet Player's Guide

Stoic philosophers, seekers of self-perfection, and devout worshipers, the tretharri are a humanoid race seeking balance both internal and external. Members of the race are known for their calm, understanding demeanor, but those who raise a tretharri’s ire soon discover their incredible strength and rage first-hand. The cultural mores of tretharri inclines many towards professions such as monk, psion, or wizard, owing to their focus on the acquisition of knowledge, practice, and self-perfection.

A sense of community is also important for the tretharri, as they believe it’s the best way to share knowledge and mutual support. Most adventuring tretharri seek to create small communities among their companions, driven by desires for exploration and shared life experiences as a means of gauging their progress towards self-perfection.

Physical Description: A tretharri’s four arms present their most striking feature, the use of which can create a mesmerizing grace to onlookers. Tall and sleek, they possess very little body fat and ample muscle mass. Their ears and noses are mostly flush with their heads, and they possess angular facial features, including slanted eye sockets and nearly triangular noses. Their skin coloration almost always is a ruddy brown or red. Tretharri clothing tends towards simpler clothes which allow a full range of movement.

Society: Tretharri generally travel in small groups which meet several times a year with surrounding communities at events called syyrqs to discuss matters concerning mutual protection, breakthroughs in meditation and healing, newfound knowledge and lore, and so on. In this fashion, enlightenment results as a network of connections between all settlements in a given region, even as the tretharri wander further afield. The most prominent areas in any tretharri settlement are its martial training grounds and library, the latter often doubling as a temple to Nimsharu, as well. Tretharri also thrive in the cities of other races, often taking teaching roles in multicultural societies, championing the virtues of self-reliance over technological advancements.

Relations: Tretharri get along well with most races, but maintain particularly good terms with those who share their sense of community and inner enlightenment. They appreciate the philosophy and art of elves, while simultaneously appreciating the strength and decisiveness of half-orcs. Friction occasionally arises between tretharri and more frivolous or materialistic races, such as gnomes or zvarr. They remain well aware, however, of the advantages granted them—both physically and spiritually—compared to other races, and most tretharri strive to offer patient assistance to others, with only a few using such advantages to strong-arm others for their own needs.

Alignment and Religion: Tretharri often maintain a neutral outlook until they can establish an assured alliance with another culture, but individuals exhibit every possible alignment. Their patron deity is Nimsharu, but they often worship any deity focused on the preservation of knowledge, serving such divine entities as active practitioners, historians, and evangelists. More so than other races, tretharri prove willing to work with members of diametrically opposed alignments when a community is at risk. And, no matter their ethos, tretharri work hard to instill a desire for self-improvement in others, with their individual alignment dictating the specific tenets and beliefs they teach.
