P'pooula

General Description

Another human race found in the southern jungles of Qirt. That the P’pooula are decendents of the Zurrtanni is a historical fact although they have changed greatly. The language the P’pooula use is completely different and clearly not derivative of the original Zurrtanni tongue. The physical differences are strikingly obvious. While the Zurrtanni are commonly lighter skinned the P’pooula are a dark race with ebony skin, eyes, and hair. The P'pooula average 6'5" in height and are generally perfectly proportioned. Both sexes are equal in P'pooula society with the exception that pregnant women and the few shaman are to be obeyed without question by all. The sick and injured are also avoided during attacks. Blowguns, whips, and short stabbing spears are the most common weapons. Fiercely warlike the P'pooula fight with anyone they discover having entered their territory. They have for years warred with the Xotol, Vedill, Durri, Phthyssysn, the never-ending stream of slavers, and each other. Ch'cha-kurtooul, god of the night and dark places, is their chief deity and the P'pooula enjoy near perfect night vision - but no color vision. Strangely the P'pooula have a fearful and reverential attitude toward the Maya.
