Taklama

The Taklama are a non-human humanoid race endemic to the Taklama Plateau, which bears their name. They claimed to be descendants of an ancient race of goliaths.

Physiology
Taklama are described as seven to eight feet tall in adulthood, possessing four arms, and disproportionately muscled, with broad, flat faces. Pure blood Taklama seem immune to aging, but instead as Bressel of Ischia describes in his Elemnakos Bestiary, '...growing steadily larger with time but not weathering."

They require quite a bit more food than humans due to their great size.

Culture
The Taklama of Tesarmasen are described as focusing on individual strength and accomplishment, with would-be leaders pitted against each other to ensure the strongest rise to the top. Such struggles rarely end in death, though disgrace or peaceful abdication. However, the important concept that permeates through Taklama society is that the weak should make way for the strong.

They reportedly believe themselves to be eminently superior to other humanoid races, given their immense size and strength. Their main contact with other races comes in the ritual taking of captives to enhance a warleader's prestige. This is how Bressel of Ischia came to Tesarmasen.
