Sindar

Sindar is a dramatic landscape of towering mesas, stone arches, and geysers, bordered by the barren canyons of the Dead River.

The Sindarans

Standing over seven feet tall, Sindarans are emaciated humanoids with sandy-colored, wrinkled skin.

• Dual-Brain: A row of horn-like nodules on their heads divides their brain into two independently operating organs, allowing for complex multi-tasking and analytical thought.
• Physical Features: Distended earlobes and a curved bone spur beneath the chin.

Communes and Architecture

Sindarans live in small communes built atop prominent mesas.

• Structures: Elegant tiered buildings made of carved stone and imported hardwoods.
• Outer Walls: They use orange or burnt umber gossamer curtains instead of solid walls, providing privacy while maintaining an airy feel.
• Communication: Large reflective crystals on tripods are used to flash messages between outposts, allowing for rapid information transfer.

Culture and Pastimes

• Collections: Sindarans are obsessive collectors of rare beasts, ancient scrolls, coins, and art.
• Industry: They create exquisite silverwork and gemstone jewelry to finance their collections, trading them for gold in Cymril.
• Games: They favor Trivarian, a game of immense complexity that is virtually incomprehensible to other races.
• Refreshments: Skoryx, a potent and rare liquor, is the favored drink. [^1]
