Homebrew Gar-Gar Species Details

A hearty and friendly race. Gar-Gars are large furry beast folk, recognized mostly by their rotund shape and protruding underbite. They hail from Perium, the center of the unified continent. Thus, they generally get along with most races and benefit from the culture of the surrounding lands. Their large stature makes them formidable warriors, but their rotund shape keeps them from being all that intimidating. The Gar-Gars revere Daeyu as their chief Ryte, but the vast majority worship the entire pantheon. The lives of most are comfortable, either living in small, quiet villages surrounded by farmlands or large, busy cities home to people of all kinds. Many live under the rule of a local lord and perform services for them like tending to their land or joining their guard. Those who seek adventure or to protect their lands join the service of the king or become knights in The League’s mighty army.
