The Dweorges (🔊 DWORG ) inhabit south-central Otan. Legend tells that the first Dweorges were created by Woden the All-Father.
Overview
The Dweorges inhabit the lands and coastal waters of south-central Otan. The Dweorges maintain that they were created by Woden the All-Father and given their lands in perpetuity to hunt, till, and most importantly mine. The Dweorges are hard-working and resourceful, extracting treasures from land and sea.
The Dweorges awoke on the day of the Great Erasure to learn they had a penchant for collecting natural treasures from the earth and the sea. While some took more of a liking to venues underground, others preferred mountaintops, while still others, the open sea.
Because their penchant for collecting treasures makes for an imbalanced economy, the Dweorges have become expert traders out of necessity. Manufactured goods, clothing, and nearly every commodity that is not made of metal can usually find a buyer in Dweorgen territory.
Dweorgen Variants
Beodweorg
The Beodweorgs (🔊 BAY-oh-dworg) are a stout folk who keep to the mountains in the League of Dweorgen Miners territory. Dweorgs have a sense of humour, but not when their territory is threatened. The distant kin of the Beodweorgs can be found in cities, fields or far off in the ocean.
Fyldweorg
The Fyldweorgs (🔊 FEEL-dworg) are the most common variety of Dweorgs, inhabiting the Dweorgen plains, cities and any open area where Dweorgs can be found.
Haefdweorg
The Haefdweorg (🔊 HAF-dworg) are born with sea legs. These stout folk make their livings on or below the deep ocean. The jewels of the sea is their quarry and they stop at little to aquire the riches that are there for the taking.
Oradweorg
The Oradweorgs (🔊 OR-uh-dworg) live their entire lives underground. Their skin is pigmented from the soil and radiation from the deepest depths of Otan. They have little to do with the topside world except to trade minerals and gems for goods, mostly food.
Half-Dweorg
Half-Dweorgs are largely indistinguishable from short humans or tall Dweorgs.
Dweorgen Countries
The League of Dweorgen Miners is country with more residents underground as above ground. Well rewarded are those tasked to stay above ground to grow crops and raise livestock to supply the ones below.
