Frontier Bhuka

A peaceable race that has historically always favored the desert and savanna regions of their world, the nations ruled by Bhukan lords became vassals of the great world-spanning empire of the Halflings after years of debate and diplomacy; realizing they could not win in a protracted war, they opted instead to join the halflings and not lose everything they had worked so hard to build. Thus ensuring their survival, the Bhukan nations found they shared much in common with Halflings- at least, in terms of their desire for a comfortable life. And a strong sense of community and desire to build it up. Really, the biggest differences between the two races are that the Bhuka are not so warlike unless pushed to it, their shamanistic religious system which involves heavy use of masks and dance, and their highly sophisticated sense of art.

Bhuka believe that life should be beautiful and so work to fill it with beautiful things- the ability to make grand artworks of any form, painted or musical or written or anything, is one of the greatest treasures of life. And so all things that Bhuka make are meant to be things of beauty, whether it be a blade, a poem, a dinner table, a shovel, or a harness for pack beasts. In the Bhukan ideology, if it is something worth making then it is worth making with the highest degree of excellence possible. This is not only pleasing to the senses but also to the spirits that they worship, whom- according to their beliefs- are more apt to look favorably upon those who take the time to fill the world with wonderful things.

Bhukan styles are similar to those of the ancient Egyptian empires.
