Languages: Hapha, Common

A race of humanoids found in the woods, Taphes possess prominent characteristics such as cloven hooves, brown fur, deerlike ears, and branching antlers. They tend to stand quite tall, have brown eyes, and wear tunics dyed in arboreal colors of brown or green. Taphe society is divided into several different clans, called bands; although each band is independent and claims a separate territory, all bands worship the same gods and follow the law code of Tephrana. Taphes' skills include the expert use of herbs, mastery of the sling, and ability to run with great speed and stamina.
