== Biology and Physiology ==

Tenzolèin stand between 7 and 8 feet tall, with striking physiques marked by pronounced sexual dimorphism. Males tend to be muscular and toned, while females often possess curvaceous and voluptuous builds. Their features include broad noses, large expressive eyes, full lips, and long, pointed ears. Tenzolèin exhibit a rich range of skin tones, including [[Chocolate (Skin Color)]], [[Ebony (Skin Color)]], [[Brown (Skin Color)]], [[Chestnut (Skin Color)]], and [[Espresso (Skin Color)]]. Their eye colors include [[Emerald (Eye Color)]], [[Turquoise (Eye Color)]], [[Gray (Eye Color)]], [[Brown (Eye Color)]], and [[Black (Eye Color)]], with hair shades such as [[Silver (Hair Color)]], [[Dark Blonde (Hair Color)]], [[Burgundy (Hair Color)]], [[Brown (Hair Color)]], and [[Black (Hair Color)]].

They are bipedal [[Mammaloid]]s, reproducing via [[Reproduction|Penile-Vaginal]] [[Live-Birth]]. Tenzolèin are [[Omnivore|omnivorous]], possessing a natural resistance to poison and extreme heat. However, they are notably lightweight in their tolerance of alcohol.

Line 37:

They value family, honor, and the preservation of tribal tradition. Fringe tribes often maintain nomadic lifestyles, while established clans have founded fortress-cities and permanent settlements that echo their ancestral roots. Ceremonies, rituals, and storytelling are vital components of Tenzolèin life, fostering communal bonds and reinforcing spiritual values.

They speak [[Valorik (Species Family) ~~(Species Family)~~]] and preserve a rich oral tradition, using music, dance, and narrative to pass down histories. Tattooing is a revered artform; each tattoo records family lineage, heroic feats, and clan heritage.

== Spirituality ==

Unlike some [[Near-Valorik]] species who suffered under the [[Sherok]], the Tenzolèin do not harbor animosity toward the [[First-Flames]], whom they recognize as their divine creators. As members of the [[Volamin Tribe]], they are celebrated for their vibrant spirit and profound connection to beauty and emotional expression. Their deep reverence for nature and its elemental spirits is expressed through their artistry, storytelling, and rituals.

== Relations with Other Species ==

The Tenzolèin share complex ties with their ancestral cousins, the [[Lûdokrèin]]. While inter-marriage is common among nomadic tribes that border other territories, the dominant clans regard themselves as culturally and spiritually superior. Still, deep respect remains between the species, especially regarding their shared origin. Interbreeding with [[Valorèin]] is also well-documented, further blending Near-Valorik lineages.
