The Zoflari

 

Few cities can claim as rich and as mysterious a legacy as Zoflar. Its ivy-clad walls, where the Zoflari thrived, carry a lot of history and knowledge hidden from the ordinary person. The Zoflari are defined by their unshaken values; personal sacrifice for one’s cause is the pinnacle of their virtues.

Zoflar can be likened to Renaissance Italy in splendour; it is a complex network of religious factions. It is not the individual that matters, but rather the collective – a family, a cult, a congregation—each playing a role in the fabric of Zoflari society.

One’s scent is vital in determining one’s social status in Zoflar. A blend of distinct scents and perfumes often marks one’s social status; every Zoflari carries a particular scent based on one’s status in Zoflar. The natural scent of a Zoflari (also known as the beggar’s scent) is of soil. Only the poor or people cast down from high society are barred from using the scents.

The Zoflari skin tone, also known as “The True Tone”, shimmers in gold, sallow and ivory hues. Hair as vibrant as the city’s blooming marigolds crowns their heads in every shade of red imaginable. And their eyes, oh their eyes – glistening with unusual and luminous colours, like stained glass reminiscent of the various Zoflari temples.
