Nowadays, all Eeltari encountered are native born.

Physical Description: Eeltari stand anywhere from 5'6 to 6'5 feet tall. Their hair color varies just as human hair would and their eyes are always a single color that ranges from pure green to pure violet or red. They look just like a Alerian human with the exception of their Eyes, which seem to to be luminous in nature, having a glossy texture to them (think anime eyes)

The internal structure of a Eeltari is wholly alien to anything else on this world. Their organs are smaller than most creatures and seem to possess two hearts, and when injured, a Eeltari bleeds a bright blue blood. though Eeltari can eat meat they rarely do so, preferring to eat the internal organs of livestock and boiled animal fat (They have a fancy for steamed pig intestines), his tends to work out perfectly for most butcher shops seeing a profit out of the parts they usually dispose of by selling them to Eeltari. They also have a sweet tooth, seeking out desserts before any other sort of meal this has lead to some of the most odd dishes to ever be created specifically, one called the Tarilin which is just a doughnut the size of a hamburger filled with boiled pig intestines. Despite this seemingly poor diet, Eeltari cannot become overweight.

Society Eeltari are very close to their family. If one member of their family needs something, they will go through great personal sacrifice to get it. In many ways, Eeltari are a very sensitive people. They focus greatly on emotion and feelings rather than power or glory.

Perhaps it is these traits that led them to become a matriarchal society. Women are the leaders and the directors; even among their neighborhoods in cities, there is always one elder female that speaks for that particular community. Despite this balance of power, male and female roles have a blurry line. Both become hunters, priests, gatherers, child caretakers, and so on. With the exception of leadership, rolls seem to be divvied up more by skill and preference than by gender.

Relations: Eeltari get along well with all races, but are especially close To Humans especially those of Alerian Descent due to them having evolved to look like them. Most races view Eeltari favorably, and some even view them as valuable assets that need to be invested in. Elves are the only race that seems reluctant to show kinship, citing that the inspiration of an Eeltari is both artificial and ephemeral. They are often students of culture; learning the language and customs of a race to better interact. Their accommodating demeanor grants them acceptance by most races.

Alignment and Religion: Eeltari are generally selfless creatures. This paints the picture of a benevolent being, capable of only kindness, generosity, and compassion. While the majority seems to fit that image, malevolent Eeltari do exist. Regardless of their alignment, almost all Eeltari refuse to deal with evil from the abyss, especially demons. Eeltaris can be of any and all religions, serving as aids to the paragons of those religions and their values.

Adventurers: Eeltari, like humans, tend to go on adventuring for various reasons, but rarely is it for the thrill of the danger or adventure.
