Denur

History

The origins of the Denur race are unclear, the earliest recorded events in history all take place in the icy north, but none specify where the Denur came from. Over the years many scholars have searched for answers, but till now all attempts were in vain. After Deonach had visited the firstborn, the race spread out across the entire Northern mountain range, carving many homes into the snow capped mountains. Over the next centuries this empire expanded and the Denur race prospered, but then it all came crashing down. The Denur never really recovered from the great collapse as 95% of the race simply perished. Today the majority of the Denur can be found in Dar-ach Denur, the capital of the Denur Imperium, but the occasional wandering Denir can be found scattered across Eden.  

Appearance

The Denur are about 1,20-1,50 meters in height, which is the case for their infamous nickname amongst the other races of Eden: Dwarf, of note this nickname is considered extremely offensive to most Denur and is often used as a racial slur. Another famous feature of the Denur are their beards, which especially the lower class Denur don with pride. Most Denur have black hair, however there is a wide variety of hair colours in the Denur population of which blond is seen the least. The skin of the Denur is very pale, due to the location of their home, which is inside the mountain. There are even recorded cases of Denur who have never seen the sun in their lives. Similarly to their hair, the eyes can take on many different colours. Most notably however are the few Denur with red eyes, most of them born deep inside the mountains, their eyes now shining with a fiery glow.
