Homebrew Dyrehud Kaldt Species Details
Far to the north - beyond the world's spine in the frozen tundra of the Coldlands - dwell the forgotten kaldt. As most cannot survive in the extreme cold temperatures, the small mountain fortress of Kaldulv remains largely unknown, with the only regular visitors being the inhabitants of the world spine, the frost giants, and perhaps the scarce goliath. The kaldt, however, revel in the cold and claim the north as their refuge from the politics of the civilized and the in-fighting of the barbarians, living only to hunt and survive in their harsh habitat. The kaldt are closely related to wolves, mirroring the ambivalent state of nature. Their bodies are as white as snow, with unique markings covering their bodies and their eyes shimmering in the color of ice or water. Their eyes glow in a green, blue or grey sheen, and their hair is usually white, and occasionally black or red. Their skin might be frighteningly cold, but they share a great warmth in their hearts, sharing sympathy with all natural beings. They care for the clans and friends as if they were part of themselves,
