Ked

The Ked, also known as Holy Elves, are a humanoid race on the planet Vevoalli.

Appearance
The Ked have a build similar to that of humans and are extremely short. They have tiger-like stripes on their faces, necks and bodies. On their heads there are extensive ridges and they have small, yellow eyes. Their skin is covered in red scales. The Ked wear richly-decorated clothing that covers most of their bodies.

Culture
Though 'Holy Elves' seems to suggest a deeply religious culture, the name is actually to be interpreted as 'high elves' or 'higher elves', since, for the most part, they highly regard intellectualism and their leaders are interested in learning about other peoples' contributions to science. The Ked follow various religions.

The Ked are very dexterous and, currently, their government is corrupt, but they are fiercely loyal to their political leaders. In their culture, cartography is a highly prized ability. The Ked are responsible for mapping out most of Vevoalli.

Region
The Ked are bordered on three sides by grasslands. They are proud of their local patriotism. Their relations with their neighbors to the northwest are strained.

There are six major cities, the largest of which, Cekax, is located in the south of the region.
