Homebrew Cyclops Species Details

The bastard children of the frisky and elder gods, the Cyclops people found themselves outcast from both their immortal parents, and the mortal folk. The first of these people became nomads, wandering the world until they could find such a place to settle down and create their own societies. For some, this was in volcanic mountains, where the molten rock provided the necessary heat for smithing and metallurgy for which this branch of the cyclops people became well known, even providing weaponry to their immortal ancestors. For others, this was the uninhabited northern coasts, where they became famous for their prized hippocampi, the stallions of the seas, desired by adventurers everywhere. A small minority did not find a place to settle, and continue to roam the lands as traveling tinkers and laborers.
