They are a race of people with bat characteristics, including bat-like ears and wings attached to their arms. Tearn bones are naturally hallow, and this helps improve their flight capabilities. Even with such adaptations, Tearns don’t have a reliable way of flying. Instead, Tearn take advantage of the reliable winds of [Glies](Glies.md) to fly, and while other races might need a kite, they do not. Although the Tearn have bat-like characteristics, they do not have echolocation.

Their ears are somewhat droopy and overall not too pointed. Their eyesight isn't poor, but they often appear to have sunken eyes and/or look tired. Tearn have hair, and dreadlocks and braiding are common hairstyles/techniques used. Tearn are about 5.5 feet tall, and are only slightly shorter than humans. Sexual dimorphism exists in the Tearn race, and appears in a similar fashion to the way it appears in humans. Their teeth also are similar to that of humans. [1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjBL41sqUbM) Tearn typically either wear long flowing robes with open sleeves, or sleeveless clothing all together. Such clothing doesn't restrict their wings, and allows them to still be able to fly. Tearn often adorn themselves with earrings. Makeup is not commonly used in their culture as it wouldn't be seen in the dark environments they live in. [1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjBL41sqUbM) Tearn use chakrams and the tri-bow for weapons. A tri-bow is similar to a giant slingshot.

The race's capital is on top of a great library that houses a collection of knowledge from all over Glies. Being quite knowledgeable, a Tearn might know more about other races than individuals in the race itself. They also believe that ignorance is voluntary. "If you don't know something, its because you didn't try to learn it." Considering all this, they are known to have a slight superiority complex. They generally think they're smarter than everybody else.
