The Grimdul see, at all times, the future before them, indicating direction like wind across a fluttering banner. Sensing the coming destruction of the Dismembered Lord, the Grimdul forsook the realm of Dragongrin and took care of their own, preferring instead to weather the storm. They roam as nomads, making their homes where they pitch utilitarian but comfortable encampments, often along Stormroads or the Wurm Roads of Jahar, or following behind the Red Sail Market. Having a knack for divination, as well as unmatched mounts, some Grimdul seek out threats to end danger before it rears its head – to regain the honor they lost during Lightfall. Others cling to what little they have left, refusing to wage war – after all, battles are meant to be survived, not won. But all revere the Jantari, the Soulwinds of creation, which blow across Dragongrin more furiously now than ever.
A Grimdul gains the following benefits:
Ability Score Increase: The Grimdul people are keenly perceptive and deftly quick. Choose two from Dexterity, Wisdom, or Charisma and increase both of those scores by 1.
Animal Attunement: The Grimdul are masters of breeding and training animals, particularly those used as mounts. You gain proficiency in the Animal Handling skill and double your proficiency bonus when making Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks related to a mount.
Master Harvesters: The Grimdul are experts in finding and harvesting Primordial corpses, and crafting Valens. You gain proficiency in Valen tools, tinker’s tools or a set of artisan’s tools and gain a Valen made from 1 unit of hide, blood, bone, or organ (see the Valens section on page 411; work with your GM to decide what it is), and you roll ability checks made to harvest, craft, modify, or deconstruct Valens with advantage.
Tame the Deserts: You are used to thriving in environments others could hardly survive in. You gain proficiency in the Survival skill. Additionally, you can innately sense changes in weather up to 1 hour before the shift occurs.
