Lenia

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 protective clothes and staying in shaded areas during the hot parts of the day.
