Ten Things about the Tethari

1. Tethari are small, green people that live in trees and can camoflauge themselves ala cephalopods or chameleons.   They hold beauty above all else, especially right and wrong.  
2. The idea for the Tethari came first.  I had been playing a lot of Mass Effect, but watching a lot of Lord of the Rings.  I began to wonder what hobbits would be like if they were completely immoral...in space.  Sometime around there, I watched a special on cuttlefish chromatophores.  Thus, the Tethari were born.  
3. The Tethari homeworld, Tethon, is a wooded wonderland, and the Tethari have chosen to live in dense centralized settlements rather than break into the natural resources and risk damaging the view.
4. There is an old Tethari proverb: "Better to believe a beautiful lie than suffer an ugly truth."
5. Tethari have only three fingers, but they are strong and dexterous.  They lie apposed to each other, allowing versatility and incredible grip strength.  
6. If you ask a Tethari, and they'll tell you they're vegetarian.  Ask anyone else, and they'll say they're cannibals.  
7. The Tethari language involves a lot of aspirrated syllables and soft r's.  They have the easiest time learning Human tongue, but the most difficulty learning Gyao Rai.  
8. Though they have only been in the craft for a short time, Tethari build star ships are a prized commodity.  Shipwrights, like other Tethari, are artists, and every ship is built unique.  Handcraft and perfectly balanced; you'll never see a factory on Tethon.  
9. The Tethari dedicants of Ashani Adjai are known as Shadows, and they serve her passionately.  They wear suits of the only material that can effectively channel the Tethari's camoflauge abilities.  It is a substance known as Noth Hide and only the Tethari know that it is made from other Tethari. 
10. Tethari prostitutes are masters of their trade and sought throughout the Cluster, leading the government to strictly regulate their ability to travel off planet.  It might go without saying that it's worth travelling for the experience.
