Homebrew Beetlefolk Species Details

Across the city, tiny smoke plumes dot the sky in a number of places. Following to their source would bring you to relatively massive clay furnaces and typically two to three beetlefolk manning the forge. The clanking of metal on metal forming masterful swords and the sweet hiss of molten iron being poured into intricate molds are the song of these people. In a modern Miminhume, beetlefolk have branched out from their blacksmithing roots and instead have found success in agriculture, marketing, and even politics. While a number are still smiths (boasting long lineages of beetlefolk craftsmanship), this is not a strong majority across their people. Beetlefolk were the first to develop worm farms, and a number of these farms provide most of the protein eaten in their city.
