   Summary

   Ishvalans have red eyes. Dark skin and white hair too, but red eyes are their defining feature. Which must mean that people with dark skin and white hair and eyes of brown or green or white must not be Ishvalan.
   And Ishvalans are sacrifices. For the stones and the circles and to their common men.

   Can they even be called human anymore, really?
