==Kaguani== [[Midgard]] is home to a royalty-free version of the phanatons called the '''Kaguani''', or simply "lemurfolk". They first debuted in the [[Pathfinder]] edition of the setting as part of the [[Southlands]] bestiary as both a monster and a playable race, and have since made it into [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], just like the [[Nkosi]]... sadly, unlike the Nkosi, Kobold Press has stated that the kaguani are too minor a race to be included in the upcoming 5e Southlands Player's Guide, though they might eventually get an update on the Kobold Press website. Kaguani don't try to obfuscate what they are, perhaps due to being in an era where people might actually know what ringtailed lemurs are, although they do retain the phanaton oddity of having patagia as well. They are a primitive, tribal race of hunter-gatherers who dwell in the treetops of tropical jungles and hunt prey with the aid of blowguns. The lemurfolk tribes of the Southlands are a varied and rather pompous lot, and they are present in every jungle from the Southern Fringe to the wildest islands in the Tethys Sea. The most famous are the Feathertails of Zanskar, who are notorious pirates, bandits, and nuisances to the [[xorn]]—and a welcome relief to their slaves. The Feathertails are close followers of [[Eshu]] and [[Isis]]. They believe themselves to be divinely ordained to bring “merriment and honey” to the downtrodden, and they steal gold and jewels whenever the opportunity presents itself. However, their thievery comes with gifts, as well—they provide honeycomb and fruits and nuts to the slaves of Zanskar, and thus they claim that they are “purchasing” the gold or precious stones that they take. The slaves are always happy to see the lemurfolk bring their goods or offerings. The xorn find the whole thing extremely unamusing, and they sometimes offer bounties for lemurfolk hides or tails. On one famous occasion, a lemurfolk tribe somehow conjured dozens of such hides with some form of minor magic and split the reward with the human priest of Eshu who turned them in to the authorities. The lemurfolk refer to this as “the Tale of Our Tails” and find the whole matter worthy of frequent (not to say near-constant) retelling and elaboration. ::+2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -2 Strength ::Small ::Speed: 20 feet, Climb 10 feet ::Darkvision 60 feet ::Camouflage (Ex) A lemurfolk gains a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks in forest or jungle terrain. ::Silent Glide (Ex) A lemurfolk can launch itself into the air and glide along for 1 minute, making almost no sound, and gaining a fly speed of 40 ft. and average maneuverability.
