Rhennee
Rhennee is generally used in reference to the Rhennee people, a race of nomadic humans living in the Flanaess, though the term may also refer to the culture of said people. Their language is called Rhopan.
The Rhennee are not natives of Oerth, but rather immigrants from a land called Rhop on another world or plane of existence. Believed to have first arrived on Oerth in the Adri Forest, they were driven out by its hostile inhabitants and now inhabit the rivers and lakes of the Flanaess. Though the vast majority of Rhennee tribes are waterbound nomads, a select few travel by land in wagon trains, much like the Rhennee's real-world counterpart, the Roma (or Gypsies).
Description
The skin tones of the Rhennee range form olive to tan, their hair is usually curly and brown or black, with grey, blue, hazel and sometimes green eyes. The Rhennee are short and wiry but strong, men averaging 5 feet 6 inches and women shorter.
