Mercurians

A dwarven people that lived in isolation until their discovery by Casadian explorers in 530 A.I., little is known about the Mittilari. Casadian scholars embedded in their society have gleaned one important historical detail: the Mittilari were once a more widespread people, but suffered a great catastrophe that drove them into hiding

the exact population of Mittilari is unknown, but it seems they live exclusively in the southern jungles of Casadia.

The Mittilari have the short, stocky build typical of most dwarves. Unlike other dwarves, however, the Mittilari shave their heads, likely in an effort to keep cool in the heat of the jungle.

The Mittilari are a secretive and cautious people with little desire to trust outsiders. Their secretive nature is believed to have arisen after the great cataclysm that sent their people in to hiding. Little is known about their social structure other than that their leaders are the priests of the local temple. They worship a strange crystal called the Tarmoq, which they say keeps the evil that nearly destroyed their people at bay.
