***Characteristics:*** Dark hair, medium complexion. Men typically bearded. Their eyes are different shades of purple. Recent groups of humans from territorial acquisition have mixed eyecolor (blue, green, brown, black, etc.), and are not considered ethnically Belrie as the purple eyes are the main defining feature to the Belrie.

***Location(s):*** Southern Bhalos and the polar islands to its south and south-east. Some populations on the Kioril Islands

***Characteristics:*** Tagka have similar physical features to Albha or Uric tribes, with thicker hair and heavier faces. Due to a genetic leftover from extensive interbreeding with prehistoric southern humanoids [now extinct], they bear a genetic marker for a variation of the condition Methemoglobinemia, which makes their skin a deep shade of bluish purple. The more isolated a community is the more pronounced their skin color will be while most of the Tagka in regular contact with Uric tribes are much lighter, and closer to Albha or Uric skin color.
