Malkari

Malkari
Malkari roots stem from the desert, but they now reach across all of Dromaria. They are often considered slow of mind and body, but are in fact a hardy race that often spends time in meditation. Their strong beliefs in both religion and karma are found in every facet of their day to day lives. While many malkari are peaceful by nature, there are no greater warriors, and they are often sought out for their incredible skills.

Physical Description
Malkari are medium size four-armed humanoids, with dark skin and light hair. They are considered physically imposing, due to their above average height and extra arms.

Society
Often found in tribal societies, malkari are a proud race. While many malkari have traveled far beyond their origins of The Hush, many still reside there, maintaining their traditional land. They have great faith in Bako the god of discipline, malkari, and martial arts. It is rare to find a malkari who does not follow in Bako’s teachings. There is a great respect among malkari communities given to elders of any race, and any who possess the powers of arcane or divine magic.

Relations
While thought of as a bit strange every race has great respect for the malkari people. They are often sought after as mercenaries or guides, as their skills are unparalleled. For the most part malkari try to stay out of the politics of the other races, keeping to themselves and taking care of their own.

Alignment and Religion
Malkari often drift between neutral to good, walking a fine line of balance. Their strict followings of the teachings of Bako have taught them to find peace within themselves. They are often found meditating both in the morning and before sleep.

Adventurers
Malkari adventurers can be found all across Dromaria. They are often seeking enlightenment or fulfillment. The respect accorded to them by others allows them to fit in well with any group. Their natural strength and intense training makes them excellent fighters and monks.
