Cascene
The Cascene are a nomadic people that have recently begun to carve out their own territory and settle there, after spending more than a 100 years roaming parts of the land that they share with the other races. Their origins are clouded in mystery, but many sages speculate that they are offshoots of the human race altered by powerful magic or that the blood of some forgotten creature runs through them. Others claim that they have been specially bred to champion some cause and that they are meant to fulfile a yet unspoken prophecy.
Stranger still is the fact that all confirmed contacts with them only go back a couple of hundred years, yet even the elves seem to think that they have always been there. This has leaded many to believe that they have been around much longer than that but did not choose to make themselves known.

They have hair that grow down their neck to their shoulders and their skin has stripes similar to that of a tiger but it is the same color as their hair which varies in shades of green.

Relations: Apart from the occasional trade they do not associate much with other races. Things might be changing now that they seem to be abandoning their nomadic lifestyle.
