About
- Qulani are the least populous sub-species of Treahni. The Qulani people live predominantly in vast underground warrens built within the heart of mountains. Most qulani are uncomfortable in open spaces without overhead cover, but they can live above ground for an extended duration, if it is deemed necessary.
- Their harsh living conditions have warped the Qulani physically and culturally to an extreme. They have evolved a heavy dependency on tactile communication (given reduced visual cues), and tend to touch each others faces, while speaking in soft, low tones. This can be very disconcerting to non-qulani who are unfamiliar.
