==Belteshazzar Characteristics==

The Belteshazzar are one of the last surviving tribes that made up the Avaladh people of ancient Ghōl, showing traits that are rare or unknown in other humans. Firstly while they have dusky skin, usually deep tan, they have a strange shade of red-brown hair usually seen in lighter skinned humans. The strangest feature however is their unique eye color, a strange rust red color that compliments their hair and skin color perfectly. Red eyes are generally a sure sign that one has Belteshazzar blood in their ancestry.

Beyond physicality, Belteshazzar display a strength in body and mind that is unusual in most humans as well as a knack to learn things quickly and adapt to stressful situations. This makes them a very charasmatic people and it is the norm for a Belteshazzar that works with "lesser" races of men to quickly become the leader, often by the wiling abdication of the previous leader.

On top of this inner and physical fortitude, the Belteshazzar have unusually long lifespans reaching between one and two hundred years. Unlike the elves and dwarves however, this long lifespan doesn't seem to keep their culture stagnant for they remain vibrant and continue to adapt and change with the times regardless of how they may have done things before.

In addition to all this, on rare occassions, one of the Belteshazzar will be born with incredible gifts that distinguish him even among his already powerful kin. Often they go through their whole lives without ever awakening these gifts, but when one does they imidiately stand out. These Belteshazzar are essentially immortal unless murdered, and they often have a tenacity for life that puts their kin to shame, some surviving wounds that would be unquestionably fatal to a normal human. Depending on the era into which they are born into, many of these Belteshazzar gifted with the Legacy are revered either as great leaders or sometimes even as gods made flesh.
