Khur

Personality and Appearance

A race of travelers, the Khur rarely stay in one place for long. They have no true homeland to call their own, and haven't had much time to settle in with the other races. This leaves city folk to stereotype all Khur as inherently untrustworthy. Some spend their entire lives railing against this prejudice, while others embrace it, enabling them to live unscrupulously. Members of this race that find employment often do so as caravan guards, mercenaries, and even hired assassins.
