Subterrans Description: The subterrans are a race of humanoid creatures that dwell deep beneath the surface of Myzan, far removed from the sunlight and prying eyes of the outside world. Their skin has adapted to the perpetual darkness, giving them a pale, almost luminescent appearance. They possess sharp claws and fangs which they use for both defense and hunting. Their society is highly organized and secretive, with complex tunnel systems connecting their underground cities. Despite their isolation, they maintain trade relationships with various surface races, exchanging rare minerals and gemstones for goods and services.
Appearance: The subterrans appear as lithe, slender figures adorned with intricate tattoos that seem to glow in the dim light of their caverns. Their skin is a pearlescent white, reflecting the minimal light available below ground. Long, flowing hair cascades down their backs, sometimes reaching past their waists. Sharp, taloned fingers and toes contrast against their ethereal beauty. Their eyes are a piercing crimson color, capable of seeing in even the darkest corners of their subterranean homes. Dressed in loose-fitting garments crafted from supple leather, they bear an air of mystery and sophistication.
History: Centuries ago, a group of elves sought refuge from a terrible war that threatened to consume their homeland. Seeking solace in the depths of the earth, they descended deeper than anyone had ever ventured before. Over time, their skin lost its pigmentation due to the constant absence of sunlight, evolving into the pale visages now characteristic of the subterrans. As they adapted to their new environment, they developed an affinity for mining and metallurgy, becoming experts in working with rare ores and stones. Their civilization thrived, growing vast networks of tunnels and cities beneath the surface. They remained hidden from the world above, fearful of retribution should their existence be revealed. Throughout the years, they maintained contact with other races through clandestine trading routes, ensuring a steady supply of resources while keeping their secrecy intact.
