Chaja
Chaja are a predominantly subterranean race, strong and healthy despite generation upon generation of enslavement and abuse by the shuddeni. While some are raised feral, out of captivity, the bulk of the chaja are born into bondage. They are found almost exclusively in the underground cities of the shuddeni. Traditionally meek and servile, a very few have been known to break free, sometimes exacting horrific revenge upon their masters. The females of the race are particularly notorious for their violence when young of the race are threatened.
Chaja are between six and eight feet in height, their large bulk nearly as muscular as the alatharya. Possessing dusky, black-grey skin and milky white eyes, chaja are quite tough and resilient beings. They are relatively hairy, many wearing their hair loose. Because of their long history with the shuddeni, all chaja speak some form of the dark tongue.
As chaja are rather simple beings and have been oppressed and discouraged from all forms of learning for centuries, their latent abilities lend themselves to a very few trades. Chaja are rather accustomed to dark places, and so see very well in them.
