Description
The Grohm is a hulking, shaggy beast that roams the Brassplains beyond Merdinaas. Standing as tall as two men at the hump, it combines the long legs and padded feet of a camel with the broad, muscular build and thick hide of a buffalo. Its curved horns sweep wide, and its coat ranges from sandy beige to storm-gray, streaked with greenish salt stains where the rains have patinated its fur.
Grohms are prized for their endurance and strength. They haul wagons, carry caravans through the Brassplains, and provide milk, meat, and hide to the city. Yet beyond utility, they are sacred: many citizens believe the first Grohm emerged from the Brass Henge, shaped from brass itself and given life by storm. Carvings of Grohms adorn the gates of Merdinaas, and during solstice festivals, herds are paraded through the streets, adorned with brass bells and knotwork harnesses.
