Sarva

The horned merchant handed me my purchase and a cup of hot mulled wine. “You’ll need this lest you lose a toe before the storyteller starts”. We warmlanders would perish in the icy landscapes of the Sarva, were it not for their engaging stories and warm drinks.
— Gallivanter
  The Sarva are a sapient species native to the mountains and glaciers of the world. Their anatomy resembles many of the other species but with goatlike heads and horns. The Inuit Sarva people are merchants and traders, learning the skills of persuading and charming at a young age.
