The Khenra
The khenra are tall and lean, with graceful bodies and heads that strongly resemble jackals. Their snouts are long and sharp, and their angular ears rise straight above their heads. Their bodies are covered in dark, sleek hair that ranges from the brown of the desert sands to ebony black. Despite their sharp teeth, they consider biting to be an uncouth and unworthy combat tactic.
Nearly every khenra is born a fraternal or identical twin, and a pair of khenra twins forms an extremely close emotional bond unknown to most other residents of Ajuraas. Khenra twins are rarely far apart, preferring to live their whole lives together. A khenra family household usually consists of two pairs of twins living in a domestic partnership. The death of a twin causes a tremendous shock to the survivor, who typically grows more aggressive and foolhardy. The rare khenra who are born without twins are believed to have killed their siblings in the womb, and are thus viewed as cursed and shunned from their communities.
Culture
The khenra primarily reside in Ajuraas, mostly taking after its culture.
