Grulorten arose in the thick jungles overseas to the south, but some of them migrated north in times unremembered to live amidst the huge forests of the main continent. Their tree city of Grulunt is to the north of New Draconia. It is an open city of immense proportions. Grulorten travel well, but do not regenerate well after nightfall. However during the daytime their regeneration is superior to any other race.
Most other races find the Grulorten to be more
than a bit plantlike, but they are truly sentient beings. Perhaps it is
strange that they can go so long without eating or drinking, and that they
eat things other races do not. However, when cut, they bleed red blood.
Grulorten are huge, with deep green or brown skin and beautifully soft
brown or purple eyes. Their eyesight is not the best, but suffices. Grulorten
can draw a certain amount of strength and health from a huge tree which
grows in Grulunt, they do this by emplanting their feet in the soil and
sending vibrations through the earth. They are a bit more likely to do
well in the cooler climes than the heated ones.
Grulorten are considered to be 'strange' by the other races. They have lived amongst trees in various parts of the world for so long they are much like trees, huge of stature, with brown or green skin and hair. They are somewhat slow to move, and this slowness is reflected in their society, which is very peaceful although highly stratified. Never expect a Grulort to make a decision quickly. Their peacefulness at home is not echoed abroad, where they are often employed as soldiers or heavy laborers, male and female alike.
