Homebrew Felki Species Details
"Travelin' merchant folk, they are. Better be stubborn with your money with em though, they're scammers. Aye not one I haven't met that hasn't tried to gouge my pockets of coin... And don't expect 'em to be charitable folk either cause they ain't." The man polished off his drink. "Good joke tellers though."
There are two things a Felki loves most... pranks and gold. Many of them live in the abandon Dwarf mines of Logeria but many go on journeys to find epic treasure hoards the Dwarves left behind.
Small and Stylish
Due to their minute size, the Dwarven mines of Logeria are a perfect fit for the Felki. As they explored the Dwarven gold caches their awe and wonder turned to greed and complacency. They became the traveling merchants of the continent and became renowned throughout Logeria and Orondis as the Felki Bounty Keepers. If a Felki offers you his wares, he is sure to be scamming you, and like wise if he is haggling you for price.
Felki's skin tones range from snow white to pale blue, and their hair is more rather feathers that start out black but turn a bluish grey in their old age. They have bright yellow, orange, or red eyes. Felki men often sport long feathery sideburns, but beards are rare among them and mustaches even more so. Their skin and feathers are coated in a transparent shiny oil that makes them naturally resistant to acid. They like to wear sophisticated and fine clothing to show off their wealth, favoring more towards darker colors like black or navy blue.
Felki keep more than just their clothes decorated and stylish. Their homes are usually decorated with items of high value or of historical significance. Expect a Felki to collect many artifacts from hidden temples and buried dungeons, whether or not its cursed is irrelevant... it just looks so good on the mantle.
Vain and Curious
In general, Felki are vain but happy folk. If you ever play a prank on them, expect one in return. Felki love revenge and will keep a grudge for decades before getting you back. Felki also have a natural knack for curiosity especially when it comes to gold or other treasure. They are always looking for whats behind locked doors and chests. If you have a secret to tell, best not share it with a Felki, or even let them know you have one for that matter.
Unlike the Faerol a Felki's patience is thin so you better not keep one in suspense. It's best to gratify their curiosity rather than keeping them waiting.
All Play No Work
A Felki will try to get out of hard work any way they can. Whether it be buying someone else's muscle or tricking them into doing it for them. Unless the work involves planning pranks or finding treasure of course.
In the rare case that a Felki can't get out of work, they usually do work well with others. Felki know how to be team players when they have to but usually expect a big payoff for doing any actual work.
Industrious Nomads
Many Felki that travel in the Orondis Region are nomadic. Temporary camps on the side of cliff to taking brief occupancy in the mouth of a cave, its rare to see the Felki construct any form of permanent abode. The Felki cities in Logeria to the north are just repurposed Dwarven Cities. The Felki found the abandoned metropolis' and claimed them as their own and will defend them with their lives.
The few Felki that do decide to settle down probably do so in human cities and villages, though one in a Dorblan keep is not unheard of.
