New Race: Kanzai Personality: To kanzai the art of battle is important, most Kanzai go into the military before they are 10 years of age. War has been ingraned into their lives so much that anyone who diesn't know how to yeild a weapon is either not old enough or at a venerable age. Physical Description: Kanzai look similar to humans with over-sized hands and feet. These over large hands give them an appearance of hairless apes, except that their limbs are even lengths as opposed to a gorilla or ape's over long forearms and shorter thick hind legs. Their ears are slightly pointed, giving them an elven or exotic look. Relations: The Kanzai work extremely well with Human and Elven settlements, including those rare occasions when Drow come to the surface to trade with them. Traders learn the languages of their allies and their enemies, as in the instances of trading with the underdark denizens. Races they try to avoid are Illithids/mind flayers and often team up with Githzerai on a Rrakkma. Alignment: The Kanzai, like humans, can be of any alignment. Usually taking on a Neutral, or Chaotic Neutral alignment. Kanzai Lands: The Kanzai stay mostly near mountains and rolling hills of the Kanzek region and are constantly at war with other mountain folk. Religion: If following a religion a Kanzai will relate mostly to gods of battle and victory, though some will lean toward nature dieties. One god that they revere is known as the Iron One. His bio includes War, Strength and Victory domains, as well as the Knowledge domain. Language: The kanzai have their own language which is a blend of Elven and Common with a slight twist of the less known Drow Elven language which they term Kanzk. Names: Kanzai have names that reflect strength, the stronger the sound of their name the less likely the other person is to forget it. Some examples of Male and Female names are below. Male Names: Xan , Gerfiaer , Kalmenek , Urgandíer , Úlfer , Semkjan , Kalima Female Names: Fargia , Dalina , Fertúst, Setna , Felta , Kírjanikma Adventurers: Most Kanzai take up roles in the army, those who end up being more adventurous usually come from mercantile backgrounds, or got separated from their unit during the last border skirmish. Sometimes though, Kanzai adventure for the sheer pleasure of the outdoors, taking that experience into the military that they later enter. Racial Abilities +2 Str, -2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Cha Medium Sized. Speed 30ft., 15ft. Climb Darkvision 60ft., Low-Light Vision +8 Racial bonus to climb checks. Languages: Common, Elven, Kanzk. Bonus: Orc, Goblin, Halfling, Gnomish, Dwarven, Drow Favored Class: Kanzek Warrior. If using this race in a campaign setting that doesn't include the KWa, substitute Favored Class: Fighter instead. New Race: Kourak Personality: Alone a kourak's personality has been described as sullen. In a large group the Kourak have been known to be organized in their plans. Physical Description: The Kourak have a slight orcish look to them, while they are offspring of a Kanzai and Orc. Over time the race lost the ability to reproduce with anyone but another member of their own race. Relations: Kourak usually don't let anyone near them aside from their own race. They have relatively good relations with Kanzai, Orc traders and Half-Orc adventurers. Alignment: Any Chaotic. The kourak have a natural inclination to the chaotic order of the natural world and as such tend to stay in small tribal communities, or roam with their nomadic inclinations. Kourak Lands: The Kourak share the lands of the Orc and Kanzai. Religion: The tribal ways of a kourak have led many to worship dieties who promote survival, the natural world and of course battle. The Kourak shares the same pantheon of gods that the kanzai do though have one god unique to theirs. The Living Judge, this god is genderless and is usually noted as true neutral or lawful neutral, those who worship this diety are true to natural order and often take up the druidic practices. The Living Judge's profile includes Nature, Law, Order, and Chaos domains. Language: The kourak share a common alphabet with the Kanzai, and often use similar words and meanings. The language the Kourak have developed is a dialect of Kanzk that is more gutteral like that of the orc. Names: Kourak usually take names that sound more gutteral like those of Orcish origin, sometimes even those that have soft undertones to the orcish language. Below are some examples. Male Names: Karrh, Arnich, Serkan, Salkow, Wolfest, Nichtrian, Kelper, Sarx Female Names: Topia, Uralin, Kandozin, Halmera, Sletkia, Ajin, Saj Adventurers: Most kourak adventurers are outcasts, but some come from tribes who include a several years journey into the race's equivalency of Manhood. Many who are on that journey often make friends with adventuring groups, treating the group as a temporary family. Racial Abilities +4 Str, -2 Int, -2 Wis, -2 Cha Medium Sized. Speed 30ft., 15ft. Climb Darkvision 60ft., Low-Light Vision Blooded: For effects that relate to spells and racial related effects. +8 Racial bonus to climb checks. Languages: Common, Orc, Kenzk. Bonus: Elven, Goblin, Halfling, Gnomish, Dwarven Favored Class: Barbarian.
