Quirithi are diminutive folk known for their friendly nature and
hospitality. The origins of the Quirithi are unclear, and they have been
found in every corner of the world, but most hail from Shimmerhaven, a grand
city built in, around, and under an oasis within the Great Desert, far to
the west of Altheria.

Quirithi are noted for their wanderlust, and it was considered a rite of
passage to travel the world and bring something new back to Shimmerhaven, or
wherever they chose to make their home. Quirithi are charming, cunning, and
coordinated, all useful traits for their journeys to far-off places.

Quirithi stand on average about three feet tall. They have distinctive,
mostly-vestigial tails that give a clue to some lost animalian heritage.
They have large ears and excellent hearing to match, but otherwise have
skin, facial features, and a body resembling a small Keldar. Quirithi tend
to live for around 100 years.
