They prefer open spaces and fresh air, and typically keep distant from large settlements. Firsprigin lineage traces back to the kothogor, but this connection has been severed and they have lost power of metamorphosis.  ## Physical Description Firsprigin stand well above humans, towering as high as eight feet tall. They have pale pinkish skin prone to freckling. Their hair color ranges from red to blonde, and worn long and free. Firsprigin clothing is typically made of leather and furs and rough spun fabrics, suitable for the thin cold air of the Skannish Highlands. Many decorate their skin with intricate designs picked out in blue woad. Some make this permanent as tattoos, while other favor varying designs. ## Society Firsprigin society gives fealty to the Karrak Kingdom, though their settlements stretch far enough into northern highland that they retain their own identity. Firsprigin settlements are relatively small towns and clan holds scattered across the cold forests and tundra of the Skaan Highlands, maintained by hunting, gathering and limited agriculture.  ## Relations Firsprigin tend to shy away from large settlements, and are unimpressed with many of the treasures and trappings of civilization. They are not tactful with people they view as soft of vain. They prefer simple pleasures like drink, food and physical excursion. These, along with their massive size, gives them the reputation of dumb brutes. This is exacerbated by the persistent rumors that they are troll-kin and violent reactions that follow when such rumors are uttered within earshot of a firsprigin. The Karrak have the strongest relationship with the firsprigin, since their civilizations are tied together. The ylavni have a positive disposition towards them, as well. The Yelin respect their nobility, the alwarda their reverence for nature, and the erume their ability to live in a harsh environment.  ## Alignment and Religion Behind their gruff demeanor and imposing statue, the firsprigin have a noble spirit. They are rough, but not sadistic. They dislike people in groups, but are respectful of life. They disdain the confinement and regiment of so-called civilized life, and prefer to live on their own term, away from those who might want to impose their view of civilization upon them. Firsprigin gravitate towards good and chatotic alignments.  ## Adventures Firsprigin often live life on their own terms, surviving on their own strength, their own skills, and their knowledge of the natural world. Some wish to find their way apart even from the limited civilization of their homeland. Others seek to expore the wider world, to challenge themselves against the perils of the wild. Others take up a religous cause, leveraging their physical prowess to protactively protect the weak from the wicked things that walk the world.  ## Naming Traditions ... **Male Names:** ... **Female Names:** ...  # Racial Traits (18 RP) ### Standard Racial Traits - **Ability Score Racial Traits:** firsprigin are pysically strong, but slow and gruff.
