Full Description
Khibils are fox-men, with red, brown or grey fur and whiskered faces and long, bushy fox-tails. They are rather supercilious and superior in attitude, deeming themselves better than other races. Possibly for this reason, they are highly prized as mercenaries and in many positions (such as wizardry, craft guilds or politics) which confer status. They pride themselves on maintaining their poise under all conditions. While Khibils have high reputations as warriors, an unusual number of them gravitate to the priesthood. They have few distinctive cultural practices, other than a strong ethic about cleanliness and proper kit and gear, a common disinclination to mate with other races and a resolve to hold themselves out as the superior beings they feel they are.
Khibils are more dextrous and slightly faster than humans.
Additional Information
There is no Khibil homeland, as such. They are definitely known not to be from this plane of existence; the first recorded migration of Khibils was in the Mortalendic lands just southeast of Aglarond in the 38th century, presumably through a magical Gate or series of Gates. They have fully assimilated themselves throughout human society, and can be found in most regions.

I have a question about the following:
"Possibly for this reason, they are highly prized as mercenaries and in many positions (such as wizardry, craft guilds or politics) which confer status. "
Why would anyone prize them? It seems more likely they would prize these professions for the reason given.
Interesting, but it seems more of an intro then an in-depth treatment. I would love to see more.

Bringing it more to the point, what impresses people more? Those who are good fighters, or those who LOOK impressive? Trot out a guy who looks like The Rock, put him in a dapper uniform with lots of shiny medals, and folks would just assume he's a complete badass.

What other dimensions would you like to see? Other than these snippets of tendencies, the three races I posted have, by and large, assimilated into the dominant local cultures, and don't have a raft of unique cultural or psychological practices distinguishable from them. It would be like ascribing a set of detailed, specific practices to "humans."
