Marmori

==OVERVIEW==
The Marmori ('Joyous' in their own tongue) are the original inhabitants of Kalanor. Humanoid, they are small in stature, similar to the Morrim. However, they have almost golden skin, and their hair colour varies from yellow to silver. Their origins are unclear, though many suspect they were the product of Lupani and Fey blood, or a result of the Chaos Wars. The Marmori are a peaceful people, who live in the treetops of the highest trees, in nest-like structures. They are extremely agile, and often leap from branch to branch, or swing like apes. They have strong nails which facilitate their climbing.
Marmori are incredibly attractive to other races; they emit a strong pheromone which they use to seek mates- they are an isolated race, preferring solitary existence, so the pheromones are used to attract a potential mate from miles away. In close quarters, these hormones are very potent. They also have green, cat-like eyes, which glow in the dark, which other races find very enchanting. The majority of the race are physically pleasing, too. 
The Marmori generally live alone, until they mate. Then they will live together for a while until the children are old enough to fend for themselves, before parting again. Because of this, they are a shy people, though incredibly friendly to those they trust. They are peaceful, and territorial wars are unheard of amongst them. When forced to fight, they usually use their athletic ability like a martial art, with their nail- claws being particularly lethal. The Marmori generally eat fruit or animals, though they have been known to resort to cannibalism when food is scarce. Once a year, at the summer solstice, they all meet at Geri's Height, a hill near Glenrock- here they meet up with their children, and their past mates, and feast and dance, in a ceremony known as the Ka'mi'geri. They also worship their native gods, who are similar in nature to the Morrim deities, and do rituals to secure a prosperous year. 
The Marmori, when discovered by the Ardanians, were enslaved; many were forced into building cities, and the females were used as sex-slaves. Since the abolition of slavery, many have continued to live in cities, and assimilated into the Ardanian culture- they've adapted to a more social life. A small group still exist in the wild, however, and continue their solitary lifestyles. The Marmori are a trusting race, unfamiliar with deception, and most hold no ill- feeling towards the Ardanians for their past treatment.
