Sample Rules part 4 The Cazzit

Well I have talked about the game mechanics and written silly little bits of fiction maybe its time to do more with the setting that is concrete.  Lets try and tackle one of the game races. 

The Cazzit were the first of the architects children, races specifically built by an uncaring but actively involved creator.  They were designed for the vast sand sea of southern E'his.  The Cazzit are a hardy people able to survive long periods without water and are well adapted for heat.  Their skin is leathery and almost scaled, generally a thick brown but many have discolored patches of orange and black skin.  They are stunted of height and squat.

The Cazzit are a divided culture city of city dwellers and caravaning outriders.  City folk are often seen as weak gilded tongued manipulators by the Caravanners.  The caravanners seen as simple or uncouth by the city folk.  Both are rather dependent on each other and often the highest ranks of society are those that have crossed from one path to the other.

While the blanket term desert gnome could be applied to the Cazzit it was not what I was going after in their design.  I was much more inspired by the real life Beduin and Kasmirian of the Talislanta game world.  I want them to be sturdy and full of guile with natural resistance to heat and thirst.  The caravanners should be skilled with animals and navigation while the city folk would be versed in deception and intrigue.

If put into Pathfinder terms they would look something like this.
