Tezvarnen, also known as Desert Elves, are lean and powerfully built. Common skin hues range from copper to black. Most have cascading black or brown hair. Tezvarnen eyes range from yellow to black. Large tribes of Tezvarnen live in Pax Thallos' Scorched Lands, Scourlands, Kalsar Dunes and the Ad'risean Waste. Tezvarnen tend to get along with other nomadic peoples, however, they often do not enjoy the confines of large walled cities. Tezvarnen lean to the chaotic nature of nomads, and the neutral side of survival, however their alignments can vary as much as the dunes through the ages.
