Humans of Martapa, Part VI

So the people of the plains of Taina live in cities, but very Native American in appearance. I would probably equate them to a mix of the Pacific Coast Native Americans and the log cabins of the Cherokees. Their cities have wooden palisades, versus stone, because despite living on the drier side of the Tsalagi Mountains, there are many patches of large timber.

These people are dark brown skinned, usually with black hair which even the men keep long. Brown and black eyes are common, with clothes made more out of leather, then cloth (though they wear cloth clothing as well). They are tall, lithe people who take pride in their athletic abilities. These people bare no beards and like elves seem incapable of growing them.

Family groups live in small sections of the city or in villages, these family groups including a mother and father, their grown children and those children's children and perhaps even more. There are no castes, and it is hard to tell the Leader of a House from a common farmer some days, they mingle so freely. Bloodlines are tracked, usually through the mother's side, but they mean nothing to a person's standing. A person has to make their own way in the world.

Classes which would be appropriate for the people of the eastern plains would be ranger, shamans (if your game has these), clerics, fighters, and thieves. Survival and use of a bow would be good bonus proficiencies if your system has them. Even classes who can't use bows normally might be offered the chance to purchase a bow ability.

They do not judge a person by the origins, but on the person themselves. They prefer to be left alone and like the simple life, though that does not make them simple.

Roleplaying Tip of the Week: Write up your adventures after your group has played them and take notes during them. It seems a straight forward kinda thing, but many GM's don't do so. It helps you remember what twists and turns your people take and little side notes for yourself your players may not have found. Happy gaming!
