The Reshi are described as having black hair, tan skin and rounded features.[5] They speak Reshi, which is a language sounding like barking. They are a relaxed people, living a simple life, though not every Reshi is carefree and prefers lounging to fighting.[4]

They know much of foreigners, but are not aware of the current economic situation on the mainland, so they only trade with people they trust and respect during the trading season. With outsiders seeking out the place and trying to exploit them, they grow tired of those who bring goods of low quality.[4]

As indigenous populations, the Reshi have no real concept of assassination and war.[6] To them, battle is more about yelling and posturing than actual killing. When trading, a Reshi judges the other trader as they would judge a rival in battle.[6][4]

Swimmers like to walk about unclothed.[4] In parts of the Reshi Isles, some women don't even wear tops due to the hot weather.[7] The king of an island is dressed in full, voluminous robes and the soldiers wear crustacean breastplates and armguards carved with points.[4]
