Chindar

Descended from the Edrishi of the Qyndil expanse, the Chindar are closely related to Humans, and resemble them to a great degree. However, there is one major difference between the two: While Humans increased their melanin count while getting rid of the Edrishi’s non-melanin pigments, the Chindar did the exact opposite, winding up with purple to bluish colored skin. They are also a bit shorter than Humans on average. They are more magically potent than Humans, but curiously, their khaalnas are actually less efficient. This is made up for by the sheer strength of Chindarish mana production. Chindar are rare outside of the Qyndil, and tend to live semi-nomadically, travelling from oasis to oasis in their native range. Curiously, despite being desert adapted, they have gained a foothold in the decidedly non-desert environs of western Teviran.
