Homebrew Troverian Species Details
Troverians are an industrious dwarf-like people who coexist
with the dwarves in the village of Harth. Troverians are
known to prefer living in underground areas, due to them
using the many ores and minerals in the areas to produce
equipment such as armour and weapons. Some troverian
tribes have special ways to polish old equipment found in the
field by hunters. This race is said to be "workaholics" due to
them working for long periods. It's been said they can
continue work day and night to produce such equipment
without a need to sleep until their work is finished. Many of
the troverian's clothes allow them to continue working
without much problem, while also acting as their usual attire.
