The Eferians tend to live in small communities located east of the Awrelian Demarcation in forests. The Hesberians have named them Eferians because they are presumed to be similar to hawks in their behavior and social structure. The Eferian refer to themselves as “KeetKeet”.

Eferians tend to live in thatched homes, but no bare ground floors. The thatch is actually partially woven. Every home has a tree nearby that belongs to the family.

Eferian travellers carry a special apparatus that they can add thatch to in order to sleep in a tree, they will not sleep on the bare ground. If no straw is available, an Eferians will sleep standing up, something they can do easily.

Once every generation, an Eferus is born with tiny feathers that cover the body. They are shed within the first year, but the Eferians consider the child born with feathers to be a child favored of their gods. Such a child is given the name -Dejgej- (remember that the Hesberians use ‘j’ to denote a semivowel instead of ‘y’) that they carry their entire lives.

Physically, Eferians are very thin and average a little over six feet tall. They have a large skull with a sloping forehead, but it is narrower than an Ogdan skull.
