Races: Difference between revisions

|The Stonefolk are tall, muscular creatures with brown or pale-grey skin. They have no irises, and their hair exhibits as hard, thin strands.

 

They are a people of uncertain provenance, who have long forgotten their origins. There are many competing theories among the academies of Baz’eel, but all that is truly known is that they have been a perennial, if peripheral, presence in the Great Ash Desert for a thousand years. The Stonefolk have no kingdoms, nor do they hold any political power. Instead they are marked with a pronounced melancholy. They serve as stonemasons and labourers, else wander in small groups in the company of their groknaks. Within the cities, the Stonefolk live in Tablets, which serve as enclaves reserved for them.

 

Stonefolk culture is orally transmitted, and their praise-singers are the living embodiment of their culture. While not unintelligent, they have no patience for book learning and are slow and considered in all things. They have a distaste for violence and warfare.
