Voraath - by T.A. Saunders ©2003 v1.7

Voraath by and large do not vary much in their appearance. This was done purposefully by the Shar'Vaire so Voraath would not become vain or superficial. Uniformity however, does not imply lack of impressiveness. Voraath are an immense people, humanoid in appearance but with over-large shoulders and over-thick legs to provide sturdiness when lifting and moving rock and metal. They possess six fingers and six toes for added grip and control for lifting heavy objects as well. The Voraath have stern, strong features with a slightly over-sized lower mandible that houses small tusk-like teeth that jut out just above their upper lip. Voraath also have a slight, pointed taper to their ears, but nowhere nearly as pronounced as an Elf's.

All Voraath will always have black, olive or brown hair which can gray over the course of their life and even whiten. Voraath will almost always wear their hair in thin plaits, or shave it off entirely. Some that have had exposure to other lands do wear it unfettered though. Eyes will always be gold, amber, green, brown or black. No other colors are possible.

Likewise, all Voraath have a metallic gold skin. This has not changed over several hundred years, regardless to exposure to elements or hardship. However, to help distinguish themselves, often Voraath will tattoo themselves or wear ear, nose and hair ornamentation made from bone or stone.

Both male and female Voraath can reach an average height of twelve feet height and tend to weigh in at in upwards to four hundred to five hundred pounds of muscle mass. Finding a fat or scrawny Voraath is like finding an Elf without pointy ears; it simply doesn't happen.
