Grengan

Appearance

Grengan are large living stone. Their bodies are bipedal and loosely resemble a well muscled Human, although without the specific definition that typically goes with the musculature of a Human. Their skin often comes in various shades of grey, brown and red and can be covered with shards of minerals and crystals that give them a unique look. Grengans are also prone to certain mosses, some choose to clean the moss off, others cultivate it to copy the hair growth of other races. Their movement is slow and ponderous and often accompanied by the grating noise of stone against stone. Their faces are usually squat shapes upon their broad shoulders, they lack any visible necks, have wide mouths filled with teeth that appear to be made of some kind of crystal and their 2 eyes are multi-faceted gems set just above the mouth, they have no other facial features often making their expression difficult to read.

History

The Grengan have long memories, whilst they may be slow to act and think they possess almost perfect recall of anything and everything they have experienced. It is due to the Grengan that the origin (or suspected origin) of many of the other races is known, they selectively release information on the other races origin where council records do not offer written fact which has lead some to believe that the Grengans may have some alternative motive in mind. The Grengan themselves claim to be spirits of the earth, born directly from lava rock as it issues forth from volcanoes and mixes with magically charged "hot spots", although no-one has witnessed the birth of a Grengan to know this for certain.

Society

Grengan have no society of their own and they often prefer to live solitary lives forming no government of their own or familial groups. They can often be found on their own usually doing not much at all, although Grengan often form close relationships with Ferritans.
