Homebrew Caprin Species Details

Caprin are a people of hoof, horn, and wool, whose isolated communities can be found scattered throughout the highlands, broad valleys, and fertile countryside of Faerûn. Though outsiders often collectively describe them as goatfolk or sheepfolk, the Caprin recognize two major peoples among themselves: the Capra, the more numerous goatlike Caprin, and the Ovis, their woolly sheep-like cousins.

The two share a common ancestry, language, and history, but centuries of cultural divergence have produced societies remarkably different from one another.

Capra culture revolves around The Herd, a social tradition of freely sharing knowledge, observations, and concerns until information spreads rapidly throughout a community. They value learning, discussion, and intellectual achievement, but their bluntness and poor grasp of social nuance can make them unintentionally dismissive of others. Ovis culture is quieter and more individual, favoring practical experience, routine, family, agriculture, and craftsmanship over constant discussion. Though both peoples live alongside one another, Capra society often overlooks Ovis contributions because Ovis are less inclined to advertise what they know, creating a subtle cultural divide rather than an openly hostile one.
