Amongst the flows of mana ride the peaceful spirits of the maghashi (singular: maghashi, adjectival: maghashi). They enjoy a tribal existence and celebrate a rich heritage of herbalism and magic.

Physiology

Maghashi are unguligrades — they have hooved feet, reminiscent of bipedal bulls or goats. They have large, curling horns like a ram's which protrude from the crown of the head. Their ears are short and resemble those of a deer or a lamb. They have a slender, flat nose, and almond-shaped eyes which come in colors from dark brown to bright gold. Either gender could be found with long wavy or curly hair, which is almost always brown, but there have been some with black and auburn. Maghashi have sleek, furry lower halves.

Young maghashi bear freckles into adulthood, at which time they gradually fade.

Occupations

Renown for their mastery over the chemical and medicinal properties of plants, fungi, and minerals, the maghashi make excellent herbalists, chemists, apothecaries, and healers. Their rustic lifestyle makes them well suited to wilderness craft, and might partake in the livelihood of a guide, porter, or ranger. You might find a few maghashi in the ranks of the Wilders.

The culture of the maghashi is interwoven with magic and many have an aptitude for the arcane, particularly Perceptive magic. They are a peaceful people, but many are taught forms of martial defense. Maghashi have been noted to wield bludgeoning weapons, especially wooden ones. They also employ their horns and powerful legs for close-quarters combat.
