Jennaerik
Ah, the Jennaerik! The race of true Dragon Disciples with a knack for thieving skills. Their wars with the elves over the deserts of Kha'Dumm long ago has cost them much, but they recovered all the stronger!
Personality
Most Jennaeriks have a passion for thieving. They just can't help it: a jingling purse sparks their interest, and also the igniting spark of a daggerforge. However, when it comes to battle or worship, they abstain from thieving - or try to, at least. Jennaeriks keep close friends, and as such, one usually does not gain a Jennaerik's trust without first being trusted by his friends. Once one does aquire this friendship, the Jennaerik is loyal, kind, and generous to his newfound ally.
Physical Description
Average height:5'5 Average weight:150lbs Skin color:Tannish Eye color:Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple, Red Common clothing:Desert Garb Typical gear:Tent
Relations
Hates elves for their ancient battles in Kha'Dumm. As a result, they don't get along with half-elves, eladrins, or anyone slightly elvish in appearance. Anyone that speaks, reads, or writes in elvish in the tribe is put into exile - the elf-friends in the desert of Kha'Dumm are always suspected of treason to the Healer.
Alignment
Almost always Lawful Neutral; Jennaeriks aren't hasty to take sides on any matter (unless it involves elves), but follow their Healer to the death.
Lands
The desert of Kha'Dumm is dotted with small tribes of Jennaeriks, but only one region of the land is crowded with these thief-clans. That place is Rakhmen'Staigg. The center of the desert is circled by the Rakhmen Mountains, and is fifty feet lower than the rest of the desert. Here the Great Healer's tribes, the Twenty Skulls Tribes. These are warrior-tribes of the great healer, and they protect the last defence against the elves. This region is the most heavily fortified area in the world of Arandin - and the one with the highest thievery rate. The Jennaeriks of this tribe have +2 Strength, -2 Intelligence and Fighter as a favored class, rather than what they had before.
Religion
Jennaeriks believe in the dragon deities, as one might find in the defenders of the faith. They are so extreme that they build the tribe in a crescent around a temple, with the temple near a dragon's den. They are very devout in worship, and often give half their money to the healer in offering. Half of this money is given to the dragon just outside of the tribe.
Language
Jennaeriks speak Common and Draconic. They try to be able to keep up with the world around them by talking to the occasional trader or adventurer, and Draconic is their holy language.
Names
Jennaeriks name their children by asking the local dragon for a name.
