Tenosi Xenai

The Tenosi Xenai (teh-no-see gzee-na-ee) are a rarely seen, scarce, and mystical race. Conclusions on their point of origin in Vitaris indicate that thay dwell amogn the the southern-most arctic parts of the continent of MetoiSophen.

Appearance
The Tenosi Xenai are reported to be lithe and tall with an extra joint on each limb. Their heads are distinctively

human but are featureless apart from abstract eyes. These eyes can be a vast range of forms, from two clusters of tiny, bead-like eyes, to two deep, dark slits. They do not have any skin of sorts, but rather bare musles and tendons.

The way one artist, who encountered a Tenosi Xenai, drew the beings, was in a way that showed how the muscle and tendon structure did not match up with humanoid anatomy. The thick muscle and tendon patterns of the sighted Tenosi Xenai were very uniform, diagonal and weaving -much like a weave in a cloth.

The colour of their exposed muscles and tendons come in shades ranging from pitch-blacks, to greys, to stark whites.

It is worthy of note that this race's features and construct does not seem to match their environment in evolutionary adaptation, as other race's features do.

Religion
Any religion concepts of the Tenosi Xenai are un-known, but it is known that a number of tribes in the southern hemisphere of Metoi Sophen are involved in a practicing worship of the Tenosi Xenai.

These tribes include:
 * The Arkdarst
 * The Tharkarst
 * The Ektofeir

History
The first sightings of Tenosi Xenai were passed of as mistaken demons or a conspiracies to scare children. But in the year _________, Doxis a South-East Narodelian historian, traveller and alchemist from Cyron took it upon himself to seek the source of these stories. Upon a few years of investigations, the sightings proved true and the existence of these beings was confirmed. The knowledge of this race was too mysterious and alarming to be made public, so the research was kept secret within the historian's guild.
