Barrani (Race)

The Barrani are one of the most prominent species in Elantra.

Appearance
The Barrani's physical appearance is often described as perfect, without blemish. They are so uniform in their features that it is very difficult for most mortals to tell one individual from another, or even to tell male from female.

They are described as being six feet tall, with long black hair. Their eyes are typically blue-green in color, but vary depending on their mood, like the eyes of the Dragons.

Names
Barrani are given ordinary names like other races when they are born, but they do not truly awake and gain sentience and self-awareness until they are given a true name by the Consort. She chooses a name from the Lake of Names and gives it to each Barrani child.
