SWADE Peoples of Thurmgard

Raym
Proud and sophisticated, the Raym are the Spawn of the Szraym, the monolithic and domineering dragons of Thurmgard. After their rebellion that ended the draconic empire, the Raym scattered and tried to find their own way in the world. Generations later, a land of their own has been settled, a loosely organized island seized by a host of Raym knights intent on ruling. While the fallout of this act has colored their relations with their neighbors, they are committed to forging their own home. Their strict sense of hierarchy pairs well with a code of Chivalry, giving their society a rigid but resilient shield to protect itself.

Gnoll
Aggressive and swift, Gnolls are a younger species that is expansive and nomadic. While they find kindred spirits in the Elves, they often find themselves as a people at odds with Bauji and the Imperii Nospherat due to their conflicts over habitable lands. While culturally they are just as diverse as any other folk, they are socially predisposed to pack-dynamics, and are ruthlessly aggressive and irrationally loyal as an average to those they deem family. They are welcomed into most societies in part due to their less-restrictive carnivorous diet, making them easy to support in a community. Their skills as a folk compliment this harmonious symbiosis readily.

Rouse
The Rouse are a new species, but one rapidly on the rise. Where others might see a bare hillside or desolate plain, the Rouse see a new Warren waiting to be dug. They expand aggressively into new spaces, usually unobtrusively and below ground, though fueds over access to resources or the promise of gain can drive them to extremes. More than anything, to a Rouse, the survival of the Warren and their kin trumps all considerations. When a Rouse makes a friend, their lives are almost devoted to their mutual success. Their tenacity, Agility, and flexibility (both literally and metaphorically) make them highly capable and able to overcome extreme odds where others might give up or fail, and their energeticness makes them suited for their breakneck lifestyle.

Gremlin
Gremlins are small, short-haired folk with tight clan bonds. While young men frequently go adventuring to try and earn either a name or a trade, they are largely free of restrictive gender norms.  Gremlins tend to support their families even after leaving, meaning a complex web of intrigue sits just below the surface of Thurmgard, a woven net of alliances and grudges for the familial folk. Even so, they are highly hospitable, often being the most popular in any industry due to how little they charge for otherwise exceptional crafts and services. They are the most capable of taking up any skill or task, aided by their prehensile tails and jumpy nature.

Elv
The First Folk, Elves were the living beings created by the God's to first populate the world. Their creation made the Giants aware of the Gods, and the two swiftly took to war. In this Dawn War, the elves were the frontline soldiers, often clashing with the proto-dwarves. When the war ended, the Elves founded the Rhuvadi way, a culture to which they could belong. From these magnificent beginnings, the elves have made their mark on history and diversified further. That the Rhuva now counts all species among its flag is no small feat, nor that the Elves freely integrated into other cultures. Among the ignorant they are distrusted, an unfortunate bias founded on their dependency on healthy magical environments.

Trolver
The young Spawn of the mighty Trolls, Trolvers are far more animated and lively than their mostly seditary progenitors. While they will inevitable slow and sleep for years at a time, growing immense and in harmony with nature, for now they are comparatively spritely and vigorous. Trolver still need more sleep than other mortals, and are highly prone to becoming exhausted from extremely Arid environments or magic which syphons moisture. They much prefer their Forests and hills, where they themselves shall one day rest.
