Zenoxi

The Zefari

Lithe humanoids with large, recurved ears and long limbs. Excellent balance. Possessing an innate connection to wind and weather. Can subtly manipulate air currents. Build tall, spiraling stone towers to live above the treeline, seeking highest winds. Master sailors and navigators, guided by the winds. Excellent swimmers as well. Primary exports of textiles and ships derived from the fast-growing bamboo-like "zefar reeds" found on islands. Strong oral tradition, passing down history and knowledge through song cycles. Organize in loose familial pods that sail together on traditionally-designed tall ships. Lifespans averaging 90 years, believed to reincarnate into favored winds upon death. Achieve highly decorated body markings symbolizing wind patterns significant to one's life. Low birth rates/egg death has caused their population to dwindle; humans have been trying to help with their technology.
