Everfearths

Everfearths are a fictional species that inhabit the world of Eldoria. They are characterized by their stoic demeanor and their deep connection to the earth. Physically, Everfearths are typically short and stout, with skin that resembles rough bark and hair that grows like moss or lichen. Their eyes are often described as being the color of ancient stones. They are known for their incredible strength and endurance, able to withstand harsh environments and prolonged physical exertion.

The society of Everfearths is organized into clans, each tied to a specific geographical region. These clans are matriarchal, with the eldest female holding the position of clan leader. Their culture emphasizes community, tradition, and respect for nature. Everfearths are skilled artisans, particularly in stonework and metallurgy, crafting tools and structures that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, often incorporating natural elements into their designs.

Everfearths possess a unique form of earth magic, allowing them to commune with the land, sense geological shifts, and even manipulate stone and soil to a limited degree. This ability is seen as a sacred gift, passed down through generations. While generally peaceful, Everfearths are fiercely protective of their homes and their kin, and will defend themselves and their territories with unwavering resolve. Their lifespan is considerably longer than many other species, with elders often recounting tales spanning centuries.
