This attitude often means that they laugh at outsiders who are unwilling to brave the elements with them, but they will greet anyone capable of keeping up with them. To such individuals, they tend to show an open-hearted honesty and friendliness which in the past has baffled aliens and Starfleeters alike. | This attitude often means that they laugh at outsiders who are unwilling to brave the elements with them, but they will greet anyone capable of keeping up with them.

The T'areshsu are a hardy group residing in or near the T'aresh Mountains on ch'Rihan's northern continent. The region they call home is mostly a frozen glacier half the year whilst the other half it is a cold swamp. The T'areshsu build houses with an unusual architectural style that combines curved roofs in order to resist heavy snow and ice accumulation, along with construction on pilings raised about half a meter off the ground in order to prevent flooding damage during the summertime.
Whilst many Romulans prefer to avoid the cold, the T'areshsu enjoy pitting themselves against the elements which they embrace. They sre noted as an energetic people, full of life and eager for challenges. As such, they tend to participate in sports and other outdoor activities regardless of such inconsequential matters as weather; minus twenty degrees Celsius is hardly a reason to cancel a Kormerek match.
This attitude often means that they laugh at outsiders who are unwilling to brave the elements with them, but they will greet anyone capable of keeping up with them. To such individuals, they tend to show an open-hearted honesty and friendliness which in the past has baffled aliens and Starfleeters alike.

History
The Evekh took its name from an early Vulcan ancestor when they left the House Yehenik to follow S'Task and his Declared to a new world. On ch'Rihan, they followed the Khelliana clan south and while exploring found the Firefalls of Gal Gath'thong. Deeply touched by the majesty and power of that forbidding land, the Evekh claimed it as their own and remained ever since.
Their history is as turbulent as the Empire itself. They have fended off every attack on them due to their fierce resistance but also because the land itself is so rocky and formidable that invaders must be willing to pay a punishing price and the lack of obvious resources or wealth in the land hardly makes it worth it. Yet the Evekh claw out a living, using its natural geothermal properties for power generation and it's perpetual lava flows to heat their forges.
For all their brute strength, they are shocking artisans. Besides their weaponry and metal-work, they also are glass-blowers, sculptors - particularly from "stringing" lava itself. Prized almost as highly as their swords is their blackglass: rock blasted in volcanic heat into shiny smooth obsidian from which they make dishware, ceremonial objects that are wholly unique because of a fiercely-protected family secret technique called "fire-veining". They learned how to etch patterns just below the glassy surface in what almost looks like the veins in marble.
Territory
