Earthspawn

The eathspawn are a legacy race, and as such, may no longer be created.

''The earthspawn are a large and brutish people. Created by Queen Grief's greylings with the sole purpose of destruction and battle during the Great War, this is what continues to be an intrinsic part of their culture. No longer tainted with Grief's bloodlust however, their desire is for a worthy fight and much is based upon that honor. As such, the earthspawn, even moreso than more 'cultured' races have progressed to have quite possibly the best treatment of noncombatants of the sentient races-so long as one doesn't wield a weapon or attack them, to the earthspawn that means they are not a target. This honor extends to their treatment of the war wounded, and while will not show mercy to their enemies, will accept a fair surrender.''

Most earthspawn speak Eark'Zian.

Physiology
Height: Males and females both average between 6 1/2ft and 7ft tall. Weight: Both males and females' weight begins at 250lbs. These weights could increase or decrease based on muscle mass, diet, health, and/or height.

Build: Earthspawn are a hulking and towering race, usually seen with a considerable hunch. Their build is extremely heavy, muscular, angular, and jagged-as if cut from the earth itself. They have disproportionately long arms and are able to walk on all fours.

Eyes: Completely black, including the sclera

Skin: Mottled, ranging from greens and greys to earthy reds

Hair: Black (needs more detail)

Other Traits: All earthspawn have notable tusks jutting from their lower jaws. Their ears are large and pointed, and are able to hear quite well compared to most humans, though not as well as elves or nakam.

Lifespans: Lifespans average around 40 years. Earthspawn mature and deteriorate faster than most. Some, in very good health, may be capable of living up to 60 or 70 years, but this is well past their prime.

Pregnancy: 6 months, with three or four children birthed on average.

History
Earthspawn were initially created by the smaller and more intelligent greylings to serve as a slave race and the vanguard for the bloodiest of battles. The oversight of enslaving this race, however, was their comparative strength and inclination towards violence. It did not take long after the Great War for these earthen creations to break the chains of their former masters and overpower them, soon free to carve a place for themselves and their kin within Altera.
