Homebrew Drider Species Details
Driders are an isolationist people native to the Land of the Shattered Beast. Rather than roaming the open sands, they keep to canyons, dry ravines, buried caves where their webs can hold strong and outsiders struggle to follow. Their settlements are small, hidden, and guarded fiercely with most outside contact handled through chosen speakers at the edge of their territory.
Driders are simply one of the older peoples of the Shattered Beast, they avoid the wars of other clans when they can, but anyone who enters their territory uninvited quickly learns why their homes have survived so long.
