Svivreni



The Svivreni are a species of stocky, furred equinoids native to the planet Svivren, known for their stubbornness and adherence to no-weapons philosophies. They have large, equine faces, and their heads are covered with flowing hair. Individual Svivreni are known to live for a 100 years or more. The fingers of the Svivreni are unusual in that they have three joints, providing increased dexterity and gripping power.

Society and Culture
Svivreni custom demands that adults never trim their hair, as the length of an individual's hair is often regarded as indications of both fertility and intelligence. A heavy, metal ring holds the hair in a loose 'pony tail'. As a people, the Svivreni are stubborn and considered nearly impossible to influence once they make a decision. Also, in general, Svivreni never wish one another goodbye. Instead, they offer each other the simple advice: "The journey begins, so go."
