Telflen were brought to the galaxy by the illarth. Some Telflen escaped and became rooted in spacer culture. They have no planet, no allegiances, save that they all hate the illarth and many will do anything to free some of their enslaved brethren. 

They are quick to laugh and quick to anger. They do have a predisposition to see things negatively and this leads to many of them to be snarky and melancholy. They love the arts, and often excel at making things. They have little culturally to bring them together as the illarth stripped their memory, leaving them with no history. This has caused many of them to be extremely interested in other races’ histories, a possible search for meaning or a spark of connection to their own lost past. 

Telflens are short and slim, making them good recruits for working in the rigging or crowd nests. They tend to be hardy, which is why the illarth may have chosen them as slaves, providing easy food that readily heals. 

They have various tones of red to purple skin and their hair is black to darker warm colors. Their eyes look like milky yellowish mirrors, which many find unsettling. Two bony horns protrude from their foreheads, curving back and twisting over their scalp.The enjoying garish and colorful clothing.

 

History

Telflen know little of their history due to their imprisonment with the illarth.
