Tanith's people are pale-skinned and dark-haired, with a lilting, sing-song accent.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|3a}}
Most Tanith men (and youths) were tattooed with blue and green ink.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2}} These tattoos could have various meanings - it is known, for example, that there were specific markings to indicate a betrothal in addition to more general family markings.{{Fn|2}} Some of these were common shapes like loops{{Fn|2}}, whorls{{Fn|2}}, spirals{{Fn|2}} and stars{{Fn|3a}} whereas others resembled animals (including dragons{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|3a}}, snakes{{Fn|3a}} and fish{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a}}) or plants.{{Fn|2}} Earrings and studs were also commonplace.{{Fn|4}}
Some of the Tanith people believed in various types of spirit, including the [[drud-fellad]] (which watch over the forests) and [[nyrsis]] (which protect streams and rivers). In addition, some believed in benevolent spirits of order and protection known as [[anroth]], which supposedly watched over Tanith homes (however others dismissed the stories of anroth as tales for children).{{Fn|1e}}
