Homebrew Duergar [H&H] Species Details

Duergar are Fey raised from the earth in the timeless mists of Myth to work the forges of the ancient Rakshasa. Having fled their oppression, the Duergar have adapted to life on Aemaphia.

Perfectionists who admire beauty above all, Duergar are master craftsmen and expert practitioners of any art their pursue. Squat and sporting immaculate beards and braids, the first duergar carved impressive cities and strongholds across Truncia prior to it sinking, as well as outposts throughout Acarcia. Those who survived now live in and on the few former mountains of shattered Truncia, now the Duergar islands of Esson, Hisen, Mushin, Ryusan, and Saimun. 

The oldest Duergar bards sing of conflicts with the monsters of mountaintops and the Underlands, whether towering giants or subterranean horrors. Inspired by those tales, duergar of any culture often strive to achieve valorous deeds, especially those of the little guy overcoming a larger foe.
