The Human Races:
Belarans | Corlennians | Kaladians | Lornkirans | Tulmarians | Yindurins

Yindurins differ greatly from the north arctic dwellers. They are a people prone to sudden violence, and they possess a fierce territorial instinct which is similar to that of the Lornkiras.

Like the Lornkirans, the skin of the Yindurins is pale white. But they have considerable body hair and thick crops of coarse, white scalp hair. The most unusual feature of these South Arctic humans is that they are all pure albinos, and possess pale, pink eyes. Most Yindurin males and females average between five and six feet in height, and tend to be slender in build. The men normally weigh about 170 pounds, and the women weigh about 150 pounds.

Their unusual albino features are precisely what make the Yindurins unique among the human races. Unscrupulous humans who have come to the frozen shores of the South Arctic have on occasion captured them, and taken them from their homeland. Geaughee Corlennians greatly appreciate the distinctive appearance of the Yindurins, and prize them as slaves or concubines.

Yindurins are a truly pure race of humans, owing to their inability to have offspring with any other race. But their incapacity has bequeathed them with a hostility towards all non-Yindurins. They view the other human races with indifference, and absolutely despise all humanoids and non-humans.

Most of the Yindurins who remain in the frozen wastes have few religious beliefs or beliefs. Those who do tend to adopt the ways of the Air Goddess, which are easily as harsh as the lands in which they dwell. But there are Yindurins who have discovered the hidden tropical valleys which lay deep within the ice-covered mountains. They do not share in the worship of the Air Goddess, but are, to all accounts, very much like the Yindurins who live upon the ice.
