Traladaran

The Traladarans, descendants of the native Traldar tribe of legend, tend to be fairly small (men average 5’ 9", women 5’ 3") and light of build. They tend to have pale complexions, brown eyes, and dark hair (deep brown to black).

In general, they are a very superstitious people – if you can call it superstition when it’s based on truth. They are great believers in good luck charms, omens and portents (palmreading, the reading of tea leaves or sheep entrails, interpretations of natural phenomena – if it’s a strange event, the Traladara consider it an omen), curses and evil eyes.

Outside the larger towns, education is not widely-spread. In the more rural communities, most villagers are illiterate, though often a village cleric will be lettered.

For the most part, Traladarans don’t care much for Thyatians. They see the Thyatians as the latest wave of bad luck which keeps the Traladarans from re-achieving their Golden Age. Since many of the original Thyatian arrivals were rotten land-grabbers, many of the Traladarans see all Thyatians as being the same.

Though the majority of the population of Karameikos is Traladaran, the court language is Thyatian. Thyatian is the language of official documents and trade and is basically the “Common Tongue” of Karameikos. Most Traladarans under the age of 30 speak Thyatian, usually with a distinct accent which marks their Traladaran origins.
