K'ama



The K'ama people are a race of humans within the Refugium, native to Tiipu-K'ama.

Biology
The K'ama are the most genetically diverse group of humans, to the point where they are unable to breed with any other race. They are typically lanky and gracile with long arms and large jaws. Other humans often view them as savage and monstrous.

Language
The K'ama language is called Ts'ap'u-K'ama, which contains numerous exotic phonemes (including several ejectives and the pharyngeal fricative). Ts'ap'u-K'ama is one of the only two known languages to have developed its own script, an abjad most often carved into trees with obsidian knives.

Culture
They have a rich tradition of stoneworking, creating intricate handheld tools out of obsidian, bone, and flint, along with carving rockfaces and hillsides into temples and tombs. They are very skilled hunters, although they fear the dark forests on the far side of the continent, believing them to be inhabited by monstrous creatures.
