Look

Huge, ruddy, red-haired. Unkalaki have extra jaw structure for cracking shells. They look built for peaks, not for the Plains.

As observed

Clan-minded. Status by birth-order and craft. They call lowlanders airsick. Humor is broad; the refusal to be a warrior can be absolute.

Where

The Peaks at home; the warcamps as exile or work. Rock cooks in Sadeas's .
