Ehlanean is a gender in the Nadurian System, one of the four Nature Systems. It is a gender which is both connected to nature and its overall aesthetics but which has a specific and strong connection to deserts. One may feel like their gender is specifically related to deserts, or they may feel that a certain aspect of their gender can relate to certain aspects of deserts. For example, someone may feel that their gender is related to deserts if their gender feels naturecoric but also feels vast, warm, and dry. Ehlanean people can have any alignment and/or no alignment, and depending on what alignment they have, they could use another term from the Nadurian System to describe themselves. For example, an ehlanean person who is fiaspec could say they're rhosynic ehlanean, from rhosynian.
