Physical Description

Alyrians are first and foremost noted for their elegant dress and masterful presence. They are generally characterized by their fair complexions and pale hair in fiery red or gold hues. Women stand just about as tall as men, both reaching to an approximate six-foot height with willowy yet powerful muscles upon a light to medium bone structure.

The facial features of the Alyrians betray their sense of honesty and integrity, with wide, brilliant blue, green or hazel eyes, lush lips forming wide, pleasant mouths, softly squared jaws and full, angled cheekbones. Their faces may even take on a slight ruddy complexion after time in the sun, out from under their forests, or perhaps after a night of drinking and dancing.

Alyrian women, upon reaching maturity, adopt a complex braided style for their hair. Men, on the other hand, only seldom tie up their hair in ponytails or braids, since they take great pride in keeping it long, as a sign of manhood.

As a general rule, Alyrian men have very thin facial hair, which usually do not allow them to grow beards until a very late age. That is the only reason why it is not common to see a young bearded Alyrian.
