Glimpses of Daedonas – Degune and Grungi

Degune

Of all people in the Crescent Lands the Degune are the only non-native race. They once lived in the land now known as the fell waste. After the cataclysmic destruction of it’s verdant rolling hills and grasslands, the Degune migrated into the Crescent Lands.

Standing at four feet tall and covered in soft numb flesh, the Degune were easy prey to the Pha’Druiin and soon after their arrival the peaceful prairie folk were forced into slavery. Under such oppression they developed their cruel intellect and lack of apathy. Now, living in the ancient cities of their old masters, they live as successful merchants and even more successful slave traders.

The coastal Grugni are natives to Daedonas and have always lived off the sea. Either living in sea side caves in the high sheer cliffs of the southern coasts, or in raised huts in the Urunti Archipelago and Illiak lake lands. Although considered bad traders because of their trademark gullibility the Grungi excel in fishing and lumaspore gathering. They live in great numbers and in relative peace.

Generally the men fish, trade and gather while the women govern and take care of the young. The Grungi are a mammalian race with two very exceptional abilities; first, their dual ears can block out sounds such as the constant sounds of waves breaking on the cliffs and the strong winds of the turbulent great sea. Second, the Grungi can have litters of up to 8 children, and are capable of controlling that number based on habitation room and food supply. 

-More to come!
