Wendari

==Racial Origins==
The Wendari are a group of High Elves who once occupied what is now Eastern Rhutalath. They are distantly related to the Mearri and Tianna of Tauron. In truth, the Wendari consisted of two kindreds; the Ainnara, who occupied Mantos and Toltoluine, and the Ganarri, who dwelt along the coasts of Kanora. The Ganarri were avid sailors, and loved the sea, whilst the Ainnara preferred the majestic forests of Mantos. Both Kindreds were particularly adept at magic, and enjoyed the company of the Mannish Folk.
Following the Rhutalath In conversion to Khanusan, the Wendari found themselves first persecuted, then openly hunted. Their erstwhile Rhutalathian friends turned against them in hatred. Many of the Ganarri managed to flee by ship or land, many settling in Edhelnore or south Tauron with their Sylvan brethren. The Ainnara were not so lucky, surrounded as they were on all sides. The Rhutalathians attacked their land, destroyed their cities, and burned the forests. Most were slain in the battle, though some were captured and publicly executed. Very few escaped, and those who did fled north into the Ered Glos.
Some Wendari have remained in Rhutalath, unwilling to forsake their home or friends. A number have remained to assist the Enlightened, and to help usher in a new age of tolerance. Others simply have nowhere else to go. Using their magical arts, they disguise themselves as humans, casting glamour and illusions to hide their faces. Some have been undercover for so long, they have adopted entirely new personae. They travel from town to town as minstrels or traders, or have settled in cities or monasteries. Often their friends have no idea of their true natures, though some have confided in those they trust. Only the most powerful Inquisitor can detect the enchantment, and the Wendari are quick to avoid such individuals.
Due to their unique skills of subterfuge and duping, they make good spies and bounty hunters.
==Appearance==
Both Kindreds are taller and slimmer than other High Elves, some reaching as high as 7'. Their slim build adds an air of elegance to them- though some can appear gangly.  Their ears are larger than those of other Elves,and they are considered very attractive by Elven standards. Most have jet-black hair, though a few have hair of pure white. They like to wear dark clothes, and robes of the blackest silk. Those who remain in Rhutalath wear more practical clothing...Black leather hose and hard-wearing materials.
