Gray Folk

A Manifold People

A vast and superstitious people, the Grays have an unparalleled adaptability, aided by expansionist aims befitting a proud and ambitious dynasty. Over the centuries, they have made the unexplored and hostile lands of the Eastern Mark their home, and the focal point of a culture that gathers customs from a variety of sources.

Laboriousness, craftsmanship, and propensity for military strategy have made the Gray Folk famous throughout IĆ¹rmen.They hold great political power over the peoples who have settled in their cities after surviving the Lunar Age, and their own numbers have suffered fewer losses than most.

The Gray Folk took this name from the indiscriminate mixture of various ethnicities, with their customs and beliefs, to remember that all colors, when amalgamated, produce gray. During the Second Age, in a few decades these people experienced rapid population growth, and this allowed them to still be the most numerous survivors during the Lunar Age. Among them can be found humans with the most varied somatic traits, pigmentations, and physical peculiarities (such as, for example, the epicanthic folds in the eyelids).

Height is that of a human, although sometimes different builds can be spotted.
