Homebrew Cha'ary'uuan Species Details

 

   Uu’yr: The polar continent. Home to Dwarves and Cha’ary’uuan, they live both within the mountains themselves and across the continent. Wars had been fought ages ago, (pre-catastrophe) and eventually ended when both saw the potential for a mutually assured destruction. Any attack on the stability of the underground cities and the possible collapse of the mountains would have meant the genocide of a race if not the destruction of both races. Peace has remained for generations, but the past hasn’t been forgotten. All Cha’ary’uuan spend 4 years in the military or as a hunter and 4 years working the mountains in either order before deciding on a career choice or leaving. Both the dwarven and the Cha’ary’uan and mining and militaristic cultures.

Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy.
