Misty has described the Shin'a'in culture as being "a combination of Plains Indian and Mongols" (The Valdemar Companion 2001:61). All of the Shin'a'in have dark hair, golden skin and blue eyes. They wear bright garments, except for the Kal'enedril. The Kal'enedril who are Sword Sworn but not on Blood Feud wear sable brown. Those who are Sword Sworn and on Blood Feud wear black.
