“Look around you, my friend. You see before you the wide variety of
peoples that populate Telgard. I am Magellerian. As a Minotauros
I am representative of the species that wanders all the kingdoms of Telgard.
We have no homeland, but call everywhere home, and settle wherever we
are welcomed. We are a peaceful race, keeping a pact of non-aggression.
We abhor violence in all its forms, and have a deep affinity with all
the arts. We specialise in story-telling and music-making. "Come, let me introduce you to some of my friends here.” Minotauri Magellerian looked around the Tavern, and then spoke in a tongue that
sounded to the stranger like the hissing of a serpent. A huge lizard-like
creature broke away from the crowd and greeted the Minotauros. “This is
T’sslesla. She is Ss’tiss, and hails from the fair Kingdom
of Tahnn, where the female dominates the race in both size, strength
and leadership.” “Greetingsss ssstranger! I hear tell you wisssh to know of our land.
It isss sssaid that there isss no life in the desssert, but thisss isss
not ssso. Hah! Life aboundsss within the landsss of Tahnn. I know for
I wasss born there, and my family livesss there ssstill. The burning desssert
is beautiful, and the foressstsss and mountainsss that lie at the farthessst
reachesss of her bordersss are cool and inviting. Our raccce are most
often found in Tahnn, for we have long sssincsse carved for ourssselvesss
a thriving cssity in the middle of the desssert.” Ss'tiss
- Kingdom of
Tahnn “Thank you T’sslesla, and where is your cat friend Ranner? Aah I see
him!” A feline shape gracefully moved across the crowded room. Its fur
shone in the firelight, and the flames reflected from its amber eyes.
“Did I hearrr you talking of my native Tahnn,” it purred. “We, the Misharr,
arrre common therrre too. The crrrafty cats, as otherrrs call us, have
been known to strrray to otherrr kingdoms morrre rrregularrrly than the
Ss’tiss, but Tahnn is ourrr home. Only humans have trrravelled to Tahnn
in any grrreat numberrrs, and they must be strrrong enough to face the
elements if they will surrrvive therrre. Misharr
