TOLI: (Traiti) A Homeworld vine that often kills the trees it uses
for support. It also yields orange berries that, to quote Ranger
Tarlac, "look like jelly beans, smell like dirty socks, and taste
fantastic."
TORRANCE, Clan: (Sandeman) Clanhome is located on Quivira Continent.
Although its specialties are boating and seamanship, like most clans it
raises most of its own food; because of Quivira's topography and
relatively cold climate, it has more land than the average clan. That
land includes most of the Cold Peak mountain range, which is popular
with tourists who can get the clan's permission to visit; the clan
hunts there, as well as harvesting ice-berries, most of which are
exported as a luxury item.
TORVA BUSH: (Traiti) Actually a low-growing tree. Its tough inner
bark can be used as a substitute for rope or twine.
TRAITI: A cousin-race to humanity, having evolved on Terra from a
common ancestor, and removed by the Others about 35,000 BCE to insure
racial survival. Although traces have been found on Terra, they were
not recognized as such until after contact was made; before that, such
finds were denounced as mistakes at best, frauds at worst.
Traiti males average about two meters in height and 250 kilos in mass,
with females somewhat smaller. They are heavily built but not fat, due
to greater tissue density. Their bodies are human-looking, as are the
hands (with the exception of semi-retractile claws instead of nails),
although their skin is medium gray in color and as tough as leather
armor despite its softness. Heads are their least human-looking
feature, being ovoid and having the long axis approximately parallel to
the ground, with bulges along the top and sides. The eyes are small;
the nose is barely noticeable except for slit nostrils, and the lipless
mouth has triangular, serrated teeth. There are no external ears.
