I was reading through the Lorath CCG last night and noticed that it lacked what I believe is enough information to allow a player to properly create a character for that race. So, in the intrests of making it better for everyone I'd like to point out the following things I think need to be addressed.
Naming
The CCG has zero information on how to name a Lorath character, and only by finding and reading the New Race: Lorath thread in this forum cna someone get the vaugest idea of how to do so. If they do find it, there is still no list of what the proper working title / ranks are (I thought there was at one stage, but I can't find it if there was), and there are no guides on how to create a suitably Lorath-sounding name for their first given name and no guide on how to create a last name based on the place they hold in their house, clan and family.
Age
There is no mention of lifespans or average ages for Lorath, and on top of this I noticed that the characters created so far list two different ages yet there is no reason given as to why, or how these are derived. The current characters also vary in the ratio of these two numbers, with a range of between 1.8 to 2 Lorath years used for every human year.

Well, those are the things that I managed to catch and remember. If these were to be fixed up I believe it would make it a great deal easier to create a Lorath character true to the creators intentions, something we all want to see I'm sure.

Ironically, the skill sets listed above this have all the skills in a big blob of text.When you add them to your character biography, they should be at the bottom, and each as a separate paragraph with a line in between so they're easy to read. No one likes looking at a big blob of text.

It is not explained in the skills section.Their skill specialties lay within the realm of Minor shape shifting (Explained in the skill section)
Colours

Erm. How much can they change? How far from the norm is still within the bounds of reasonability? Of the three current Lorath characters for instance, only one of them has yellow eyes. A table like that used for the Nekovalkyrja would be most awesome for this, but at the least the most common and the restrictions on colours should be listed. Also, what are the house colours? It is mentioned that hair is usually dyed to the house colour, yet these are not actually specified.The only things normal for all in the race, is the White hair color, and pale skin, and yellow eyes, Which can change as well.
