Del

The ancient dwarves of the desert, Del dwarves, were the first of their species. Survival runs through their veins as they have lived in extremely harsh desert environments for centuries. As centuries passed, Del’s bodies changed and adapted to survive the harsh desert.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Their skin wrinkles because of the extra water they store to survive the water scarcity in the desert, which gives it a perplexing appearance. Swimming too long causes the same appearance of wrinkled skin.

Male and female Del shave their heads and the men have smaller trimmed beards to keep themselves cool in the desert heat. Trimming their beards is a matter of pride for them. Those who don’t shave their heads have a paler blonde to white hair.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Perception and sensory/extrasensory capabilities are determined by the mutations that the individual develops at birth.

Civilization and Culture

History

Before the world had expanded out into many diverse cultures, Del believed strongly in traditions, law, and order. Del believe they were the strongest of all the sub-species because of the harsh environment they called home. They were so proud they knew they could move to greener pastures to get a rest from the harsh desert, but stubbornly refused to leave. Therefore, they saw no reason to leave their sandy homeland on the desert island of Vroth. To this day, the Del rule strong in the Vrothic culture and Vroth Empire.
