Pitic (Pit-ique)

Pitic are a traditionally diminutive race with figures similar to those of Mortelle men, often with a proclivity for mining, rockcraft, and jewelcraft. There are 4 distinct families of the Pitic:

• Pitic (Common trans. "Veins of Stone") - High Blood
• Gnom
• Omulsor
• Micutii (Common trans. "The Tinies")

Basic Information

Anatomy

Pitic are sapient, bipedal creatures with two arms and legs, 6 fingers, and 2 opposable thumbs. Traditionally, for reasons yet unknown by preternatural researchers (potentially due to the noted secrecy in which the Pitic enshroud their culture), Pitic as a species rarely grow taller than 5'0 - High blooded Pitic are considered so due to their increased height in comparison to the other two sub variations.

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

It is difficult to properly assess the geographical distribution of nomadic Pitic tribes due to their subterranean culture, but a large concentration of Pitic can be found living in harmony at the edge of the Mortelle realm, occupying the free city of Burgess in the company of Mortelle and Nix.

Major Language Groups and Dialects
