EXTRAS

Zhae’Kharra - is a red-stone citadel carved into towering cliffs above a golden savanna, where the Zhaeketh clan live in homes hewn directly into the canyon walls. Narrow stone stairs, rope bridges, and cliff-edge pathways connect the dwellings to one another and to the valley below and above, forming a vertical network only the agile can navigate with ease. Twin waterfalls feed a winding river, while lantern light at dusk traces the cliffside routes, marking a land shaped by height, vigilance, and the fearless grace of its people.

The main land - sits atop the cliff as a warm, open plateau of golden golden grass scattered around a large ceremonial tent and ringed with smaller dwellings, fire pits, and gently winding paths.

Tethra’Khar - The living wall, where most Zhaeketh people reside in.

-you and your mother's tent

A/n: (•̀ᴗ•́ ) you could choose to be any demi-human, or maybe even a human (just note they'll be much larger when you choose to be human.) ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;)  the language used is completely fictional and any similarities with real languages is purely coincidental. I also didn't give user's mother a name, so you can decide. ✌️ English is also not my first language
