Kaszatti

The Kaszatti (Yaszumatti: 元人, English: People of Origin) are a human-adjacent race originating from the mesas, savannas, and deserts of the Kaszara region, later incorporated into Yaszuma and its successor states in Katsura, Eldham. The population currently resides primarily within Eiszura in Halinn, Abexilas.

=== Physical Features ===
Kaszatti skin color has a fairly wide range of tones, encompassing very dark to light brown. Hair color is most frequently black or dark brown, although varying colors, particularly red and white, are possible. Eye colors are bright, warm colors which shine from the reflection of light. In the order of frequency, Kaszatti eye colors include brown, red, orange, and yellow. There are documented Kaszatti which occasionally have colder colored eyes and lighter skin, although they are a severe minority.
=== Clothing ===
Kaszatti clothing reflects that of a dry and hot climate. A Kaszatti’s staple everyday clothing is a large, ankle length robe that can be easily removed or wrapped around the legs to be used as a skirt and free the upper body. These robes are made with breathable materials like cotton and linen, dyed in lighter colors with elaborate patterns. Kaszatti often wear sleeveless tops and baggy pants or shorts in combination with their robes.
Kaszatti always wear jewelry to accent their outfit. The most common types of jewelry are wooden or metallic bracelets and necklaces, depending on the wealth or social standing of the person. 
Nobility and warriors often distinguish themselves by wearing darker colored fabrics accented with metallic jewelry, typically gold.
== Culture ==
The Kaszatti are industrious people and renowned woodworkers, fishermen, and cooks. A core social value of the Kaszatti is the attachment to family and community. They are highly defensive of those they are close to, which can often lead to conflict with other peoples or even other Kaszatti. One such conflict between Kaszatti was the Miosza Mara, "Everlasting Battle" period, a conflict between clans that was brought to an end with the unification of the Kingdom of Kaszara. The Kaszatti are highly respectful of plant life due to its sparseness within their homeland.
=== Language ===
Kaszatti almost exclusively speak Yaszumatti. Yaszumatti is a language itself derived from more ancient Kaszatti language mixed with the languages of their Umarín and Tetszori neighbors in Yaszuma.
