Grass Dwellers

The name Grass Dwellers is given to the native inhabitants of the Northern Grass-Pits.

Appearance
Grass Dwellers can usually be spotted in a crown of large people, given their appearance is much different than the rest of the people living on the Strange Continent. They have dark skin, hair, and eyes, and usually wide noses. Their bodies are slim, like the grass.

Lifestyle
Grass Dwellers live in permanent villages among the tall stalks of bamboo and grass. Villages consists of between 12 - 50 huts, which are round in shape and built of thatched grasses, with a bamboo frame. Each hut corresponds to a specific family. Unlike the other peoples of the Strange Continent and Cyclonus, Grass Dweller families have a given surname which is passed down from parent to child. All children bearing the same last name will live in the same hut. If a family is particularly large, the hut will be expanded. Many huts have multiple rooms and chambers for beds and family heirlooms.

Food and water can be readily found among the grasses, and supplies are brought in in wagons, which are carried down on dirt roads.

Those who live in Liverius Rogue enjoy the typical city lifestyle similar to other cities on the Strange Continent.

Prophecy
One of the most unique aspects of the Grass Dweller culture is their obsession with myth and prophecy. Storytellers are one of the most revered occupations among the Dwellers, and myths and stories are taught to children at a very young age.

The oldest prophecy and tale of the Grass Dwellers is that one will be born among them with green eyes, who will one day rule over all of the grasses.
