: A void whale. Most commonly observed in the swimming in the earth's atmosphere, where they come to breath air. But they spend most of their time in the void of space, where they dive to great depths.

<dt id="dwrlugh">Dwrlugh</dt>
|
||||
: Dwrlugh are creatures from under the earth.
|
||||
They have a natural affinity for stone and metal,
|
||||
which they can seemingly work with merely a touch.
|
||||
Their skill and craftsmanship is unparalleled in all of Basmentaria.
|
||||
Though they admire the handiwork of the Zephynos
|
||||
and indeed lack their skill with cloudstuff,
|
||||
the dwrlugh consider the cloud dragons undisciplined
|
||||
and their work rather crude and unrefined.
|
||||
They come in a great variety of shapes and sizes,
|
||||
but on the whole are somewhat shorter
|
||||
and more slender than a human.
|
||||
Their flesh appears as though made of flecks and shards of stone,
|
||||
as does their hair,
|
||||
which grows on their head and their face
|
||||
like a lion's mane.
|
||||
Their eyes seem to smolder like coal
|
||||
or glow like molten gemstone.
|
||||
Dwrlugh refuse given names,
|
||||
referring to one another by any number
|
||||
of (often changing) descriptions
|
||||
such as location, deed, relationship, etc.

: Bisonpeople. Long beards, long hair, horns. Poor personal hygiene. Uncompromising idealists. They insist on a world of free and open-source magic. They refuse to use any magic that they cannot study, modify, redistribute, and use however they want. Theirs is a political movement that borders on religion. Or a religious movement that borders on politics.

### 00072 {#00072}
|
||||
|
||||
In the days that follow,
|
||||
you move Marvelo into the Milk Market
|
||||
to care for him.
|
||||
|
||||
The reclusive Blacksmith of Vay'Nullar
|
||||
(a dwrlugh who---as is the case with its kind---refuses to go by any given name)
|
||||
makes a rare appearance outside of its forge
|
||||
to present Marvelo with a new artificial jaw
|
||||
made of polished granite and bronze.
|
||||
It will never be mistaken for flesh,
|
||||
but it does somewhat complement the golden tones
|
||||
of Marvelo's skin.
|
||||
With the skill of a surgeon,
|
||||
and craftmanship only the dwrlugh are capable of,
|
||||
the Blacksmith affixes the jaw onto Marvelo's bones
|
||||
with small screws,
|
||||
and sews his muscles to the opening and closing mechanisms
|
||||
so that it operates naturally.
|
||||
|
||||
Marvelo grows stronger as the days go by.
|
||||
His recovery is no doubt accelerated
|
||||
by the hemogoblin,
|
||||
who provides ample transfusions
|
||||
and refuses to leave his bed.
|
||||
Though he will ever be physically scarred by his encounter with the Nyxmaer,
|
||||
he soon enough is able to eat and drink on his own.

Dwrlugh are creatures from under the earth. They have a natural affinity
|
||||
for stone and metal, which they can seemingly work with merely a touch.
|
||||
Their skill and craftsmanship is unparalleled in all of Basmentaria.
|
||||
Though they admire the handiwork of the Zephynos and indeed lack their
|
||||
skill with cloudstuff, the dwrlugh consider the cloud dragons
|
||||
undisciplined and their work rather crude and unrefined. They come in a
|
||||
great variety of shapes and sizes, but on the whole are somewhat shorter
|
||||
and more slender than a human. Their flesh appears as though made of
|
||||
flecks and shards of stone, as does their hair, which grows on their
|
||||
head and their face like a lion’s mane. Their eyes seem to smolder like
|
||||
coal or glow like molten gemstone. Dwrlugh refuse given names, referring
|
||||
to one another by any number of (often changing) descriptions such as
|
||||
location, deed, relationship, etc.

<p>In the days that follow, you move Marvelo into the Milk Market to

|

<p>The reclusive Blacksmith of Vay’Nullar (a dwrlugh who—as is the case
|
||||
with its kind—refuses to go by any given name) makes a rare appearance
|
||||
outside of its forge to present Marvelo with a new artificial jaw made
|
||||
of polished granite and bronze. It will never be mistaken for flesh, but
|
||||
it does somewhat complement the golden tones of Marvelo’s skin. With the
|
||||
skill of a surgeon, and craftmanship only the dwrlugh are capable of,
|
||||
the Blacksmith affixes the jaw onto Marvelo’s bones with small screws,
|
||||
and sews his muscles to the opening and closing mechanisms so that it
|
||||
operates naturally.</p>
|
||||
<p>Marvelo grows stronger as the days go by. His recovery is no doubt
|
||||
accelerated by the hemogoblin, who provides ample transfusions and
|
||||
refuses to leave his bed. Though he will ever be physically scarred by
|
||||
his encounter with the Nyxmaer, he soon enough is able to eat and drink
|
||||
on his own.</p>
