The Candy Canians of the North Poles Candy mountains are a proud and industrious people. Using their natural Dexterity and slender bodies they work long hours in the honeycomb mines that are vital to the economy of the region. Some few candy canians set off as adventurers, finding a natural talent in swordsmanship and thievery.

High Sugar Bloodline

Candy Canians are medium sized creatures, they most usually come in peppermint variety but other mints and even flavours are known to exist within the higher reaches of the Candy Mountain, however such groups are often ostracized and discriminated against, being excluded from Candy Society as a whole. They are primarily white, with green or red stripes but some variations have been known to exist. They are in tune with the winter landscape that is their home.

Candy Canians tend to stick within their own society, it is exceedingly rare to see Candy People outside of the Candy Mountains and as such, they may be surprised to see you.
