Digratz

The History
Digratz are considered to be the vermin of any developing society, they are found in most capital cities, woods, mines and in Ironfang. Their origin is unknown as they often don't communicate with outsiders. Theories state that they came from the Desolate Wastes through trade-routes and migration of other races. They live in the undergrounds of most cities or dense dark forests. Their prime home are the sewers of Ironfang and have caused problems for their Dwarven neighbors for centuries.

Society
They have a rudimentary society, they are capable of building shelter and creating the most basic armor and weapons. Their societies are run by elected Chieftains and in a few remote locations Shamans. They have displayed the ability to create basic chanting music and even draw art on walls. Their main source of food and supplies come from raiding and stealing. There have been a few rare instances of Digratz being able to speak commontongue but these instances were never fully confirmed. They have their own language which is often called among commoners "Rat-talk".

Physiology
These creatures resemble bipedal rats, they vary in size as there have been sightings of Digratz as large as 2.00m and as small as 1.20m. They have extremely short life spans and breed very fast. They are nocturnal and usually commit mischief at night. Digratz that inhabit woods are not nocturnal and are often larger than their city brethren.
