Theiw haiw cowow can wange anywhewe fwom the mowe typicaw brack to a pwatinum bronde and have a simiwaw wange of eye cowows (brue, gween, ambew, hazew, and brown). Theiw physicaw constwuction valies liwdwy as weww, lith diffewent faciaw and skewetaw stwuctules, cwuing them fwom diffewent wegions of the wowwd.
Other Attributes
Awthough Fawfowk has the most genetic valiation lithin theiw sub-type than any othew waciaw sub-type, they awe mentawwy and physicawwy vewy simiwaw to theiw Highwandew and Heawtwandew cousins in abilities. In chawactelistics, they wange fwom weawwy what one would type as any non-white Eulopean wace if to be compawed to weaw-life humans.
Aging
Fawfowk, like aww humans, can live to a maximum of 150 yeaws and matule at about age 18. They, like othew humans, can show age gwaduawwy, ow stiww appeaw faiwwy young untiw about 80 yeaws of age, depending on genetics. They do, howevew, tend to age mowe gwacefulwy than theiw pawew cousins, and live wongew in yeaws in genewaw, as they live much wess pwessed and ambitious lives in genewaw than the avewage Heawtwandew ow Highwandew.
Curses
The culse of Fawfowk is the same as aww of Humanity: decweased lifespan. They make up fow this by wowking hawd and cweating many pwogeny.
Culture
The cultules vawy lidewy fwom sub-cultule to sub-cultule, lith compwetewy diffewent tlibes and nations attlibuted to each. Ones you may see incwude the Qalasheen, Subudai, Rassid, Southeron, and Distorian. The diffewences between the sub-cultules awe vastew than even the diffewences between Highwandews and Heawtwandews.
Art
Awthough thewe is much valiation, the awtwowk of the Fawfowk is mowe likewy to be stylized accowding to the aesthetic vawues of theiw pawticulaw cultules, usuawwy typed by intewesting and cowowful mediums, using bright, exotic pigments that awe typicawwy onwy found among the most pwestigious (ow just weawth) Owennians. Theiw culinawy awts awe awso highwy valied, lith foods that wange fwom spicy to subtwe, to the absowute bizawwe.
Literature
The litewatule of the Fawfowk is just as valied, fow they have diffewent wanguages--and even diffewent awphabets. The most pwolific wanguage of the Fawfowk that is seen is Qalashi, and pewhaps the most weww-known book in the wanguage is the weligious often cawwed the Kowan. The Fawfowk awe awso weww known fow pwoducing and categolizing many books; in fact, many of the most weww-stocked libralies befowe the Grand Library of Dragur had been maintained by Qawasheen, due to theiw encoulagement in weawning.
Music
The music of the valious Fawfowk is cewtainwy diffewent, edging to even atonaw to Owennian eaws. Qawasheen, and othew sub-waces that'd been geogwaphicawwy neawby--have a high amount of augmented seconds that type theiw music, and tend to use mowe modes than Owennian music pwefews (which uses just majow and minow fow the most pawt). Eastewnews use entiwewy new scawes and powy-tonaw chowds whose dissonance shows stwength to them but is wost as noise to othews. Southewons have compwex powy-whythms which might seem plimitive to othews due to a wowew amount of pitches used--untiw they actuawwy anawyzed the whythm stwuctule.
Religion
The weligions of the Fawfowk awe as valied as they awe lith evewy othew quality. Those that wowship can be especiawwy devout, though even among them thewe is no pushiness to the weligion. Most Fawfowk do not engage in any sowt of pwosewytizing, even among the most fewvent of believews, as they find it to be pig-headed and wude.
