Dwellvur

(DWEL-voor)

The Dwellvur are one of the oldest known sentient lineages to develop naturally, their legendary explorers marching up from the deepest depths of the oceans. They are a lineage as diverse as the ocean biomes in which they live, and they have long since adapted to all but the most extreme ocean temperatures. Dwellvur utilize all resources at their disposal, leaving nothing to waste. They craft weapons, armor, and tools from the bones of creatures never before seen by the surface dwellers.

Dwellvur Culture

Dwellvur settlements can be found in nearly all habitable waters around the world, from tropical seas to arctic oceans. They most often form villages near the shoreline or on shallow coral reefs. Dwellings are built within these reefs and complement the features and resources that naturally occur. While some Dwellvur villages engage in trade for materials like leather and metal, most Dwellver technology and tools use bone or cartilage from deep-dwelling sea creatures.
