Homebrew Ashwalker Species Details
"On the Anvil of War are the strong tempered and the weak made to perish, thus are men's souls tested as metal in the forge's fire.".
Ashwalkers come from the volcanic regions of the realm. Claming their ancestry from both Fire Giants and Dragons they work day and night creating miracles in the forge.
Volcano Born
Every day brings a new challenge for the Ashwalkers, either in the forge or outside of it. Drakes to take care of, ore to mine and smelt. Nobody knows where they came from but noone wants to make them angry. Ashwalkers belong to the most elite of smiths, easily rivaling dwarves, which makes the stout mountian dwellers quite jealous.
