The Balishe dwell in the far eastern portion of Fälgorna and in the Pantaerian Islands. They live in harmony with the Paladian Elves that inhabit these same areas.
Balishe Samurai
The Balishe have yellowish skin and dark thin hair. Their slanted eyes are usually dark in coloration and their facial features tend to be subdued and flat. They are generally shorter than most humans, 5'6" average height.
The Balishe share a tradition of honor and familial reverence. Personal and family honor have shaped the Balishe culture and very few Balishe turn their back on this tradition.
The Balishe culture emphasizes the arts and most characters of this subrace will have at least one artistic nonweapon skill.
Balishe characters may chose any Oriental character kit. Western character kits are usually not available to this human subrace (DM's approval required to take a non-Oriental character kit).
The Balishe people exhibit above average Intelligence, therefore Balishe characters gain a bonus of +1 to Intelligence.
