Colustrates

The Colustrates (col-yur-ass-teez) are a highly mystical tribe of Megalithica. Sometimes called the Serpent Hara for their affinity with snakes and their hair, which functions as a living moving entity.
====Description====
In An Educational Primer for Harlings, Moswell Sment gives a brief description of the Colustrates. It must be noted that at the time of writing, Moswell was employed by Terzian, the Varr phylarch based in Gahlea, and is heavily biased toward the Varr viewpoint.
:There is little to be said about this lot other than that they have fabricated a fantasy lifestyle, based around the obsession with serpents, which they use to enhance their reputation as being sorcerers of great power. It takes rather more than a costume of snake skin and some very affected poses to sway the opinion of a sensible Varr.
:The Colustrates are partly nomadic in nature, in that they tend to move around quite often. This might be because their dwellings of choice are caves. This makes them smell damp. They do not build and create very little. Presumably, in an attempt to emulate their favorite beasts, they like to lie around in the sun all day on rocks, ridding themselves of cave smells, which leaves little time for anything else.
:There are rumors that the hair of a Colustrates possesses a life of its own and also magical properties. This is just an excuse, as most Colustrates lack grooming. They would all benefit from a good haircut.
