Tetrakheires

The Tetrakheires (Greek: Τετράχειρες "Four-Handed Ones"), or Homines Hyperboreales (Latin: "Hyperborean Humans"), also known as Dokhamerhats (Ňúrsox: Doxāmeřáts) are a species of sapient four-armed humanoids that live all throughout the region of Hyperborea, mostly on the mainland and the Kanyar Islands, and the eastern shores of Cy'ǧetauria. Major ethnic groups among the Tetrakheires include Ňursumerians, Kanei, Kantamians and the many peoples of the Red River Valley, collectively reffered to as the Matai. They are characterized by earthy, greyish or slightly blue skin, fair, lush hair and quite varied height - from the imposing stature of Ňursumerians at around 2 meters tall, to mere 5 feet average among their northern cousins. The most distinguishing feature of all Tetrakheires, however, is the fact that they possess a set of four, fully developed arms, which possibly helped their ancestors in traversing the difficult, mountainous terrain of their unwelcoming homeland.
