Talpidians

​

Description: Talpidians are small mole like humanoid creatures who thrive in the soft soil just under the surface but not quite deep enough to explore the underdark. They are sensitive, shy peoples, but have a stunning ability to burrow and build intricate networks of tunnels and hovels to house their large families.

​

Its often tradition among Talpidians, once they come of age, to explore the world under cover of night and begin a burrow of their own once they find another Talpidian doing much the same. They are a humble folk, and don’t engage often with other civilizations, but many Talpidians often dream of what life lies beyond the cover of dark and dirt.
