The Seven Signs of Tarnis were:
Green eyes
Long fingers
Long ears, with tips
Smooth and hairless bodies
Full mouths
Slender feet
Melodious voices
Jerrod Northi - rogue, pirate and a citizen of Pemath - was desperate enough to want to go through the transformation. It cost 100,000 units for the Craftsmen to endow him with the Seven Signs - a rather steep price even for him. But he would pay it somehow, for since the attack of the deadly leeris, he feared that the cost of missing this opportunity to find a refuge in the land of Tarnis would be even higher.
