|Introduction=The '''Tuzquão''' are a race of humans who inhabit the swamp realm of Balúrail. ~~Like all humans, they~~ descend from the [[Yendea]], the original humans ~~who inhabited the realm~~ of [[Dalel]] ~~and originally~~ lived on the island of [[Haberria]]. Following the [[Great Migration]] that drew most humans away from Haberria around the year 0 of the Modern Era (ME), the ancestors of the Tuzquão were among the peoples who eventually dispersed across the wider world'''.''' The Tuzquão themselves arrived in Balúrail around the year 201 ME, settling first in the town of [[Saindo]] before expanding throughout the region and founding their capital, [[Têr]], in 210 ME. Today, they are organized under the [[League of Balúrail]], a government known for its secretive structure.

|Origin and Nature=The Tuzquão share the common ancestry of all humans, descending from the Yendea. ~~Like other human races, they~~ trace their origin to the period after the Great Migration of the early Modern Era~~, though they~~ settled Balúrail ~~roughly~~ two centuries later.

|History=The ancestors of the Tuzquão came to Balúrail by sea from the [[Kingdom of Bóinbile]] in [[Gosterra]] in 201 ME and established themselves in the town of [[Saindo]]. Their settlements were colonial towns of the Kingdom until 289 ME, when they declared independence as the [[League of Balúrail]]. From this foothold, they expanded throughout Balúrail, bringing them into repeated conflict with the Mifajene, the region's native inhabitants. The consolidation of Tuzquão settlement was marked by the founding of the capital city of Têr in 210 ME, nine years after their arrival.

|Biology and Physical Traits=The Tuzquão complexions tend to be cool-toned and pale. Faces are typically broad and strong-featured. Eyes are most often light, ranging from pale blue to grey and green. Hair tends to be light in coloring, is commonly straight or only lightly waved, and fine in texture.

The Tuzquão tend to be taller than the average human. Males typically range from 5 ft 9 in to 6 ft (175–183 cm), while females are slightly shorter, generally ranging from 5 ft 6 in to 5 ft 10 in (168–178 cm). Both sexes generally have sturdy, broad-shouldered builds.

|Abilities and Osia=~~Like other humans, the~~ Tuzquão ~~possess~~ no innate Osia ~~powers~~. However, their proximity to the Ascendant Spirits [[Mavai]], [[Tahami]], and [[Sitaivu]], who all live in Balúrail, gives them an advantage should they seek to learn the domains associated with these spirits.

|Culture and Society==== Governance ===

The Tuzquão have a distinctive governing structure. The League of Balúrail controls almost all of Balúrail, which is in turn controlled by a secret society known as the [[Society of Truth]]. Membership in and induction into the Society are closely guarded secrets, and the Society governs through edicts issued by figureheads placed at all levels of government. Its members' identities are not publicly known, though they are thought to be prominent figures drawn from both the merchant and political classes. No one believes the Society's members engage directly in politics, and a clear separation is maintained between the public figureheads and the Society's members.
