The Lenian people are an association of tribes on the planet Teppala. They are typically light-skinned, with blonde hair and blue eyes. However, the tribes using this label most often today are those found in warm climates where dark-skinned people are predominant; Lenians in colder climates prefer to identify themselves as Poswobs or their specific tribal name.
The name Lenian is an exonym, and its original application was to a tribe that no longer usually identifies as such, as the original Lenian tribe has intermarried so much with outsiders that it no longer maintains a single identity.
Language
The Lenians historically spoke languages of the Fojy branch, but in modern times some have adopted the languages of surrounding tribes.
Demographics
The Lenians were light-skinned people with blonde hair and blue eyes. They were of medium stature and thin build. Unlike the Pabaps, however, the Lenians of Fojy were warm-adapted people with slow metabolisms. Thus, they were well-suited to their tropical habitats so long as they moderated their exposure to the sun by wearing clothes and staying in shaded areas during the hot parts of the day.
