None, naturally. So Borgon took Xarne at His leisure, but He rewarded her with a gift: He decreed that henceforth, her daughters should rule His children. First among His children with Xarne was Kytania, who also became the first ruler of the Borgon-Dun. In appearance, the Borgon-Dun are quite distinctive. They have skin dark as midnight, but their hair is often fair of color. The most striking feature, however, are their eyes of purple-violet, which distinguish the pure-blood Borgon-Dun. Another name for this people, often used by their neighbors in the Machairas, and used by the Borgon-Dun themselves only in adjective function, is Bordjene.
