Iysk

The Iysk are a sapient species found most commonly in the New Voldranian region of the Overworld. Commonly referred to as "Dwarves", the Iysk are actually a cross-breed of Humans and true Dwarves, the latter of which do not leave their homes in the Old World. Seeing as how these two species can not ordinarily reproduce together, it is theorized that a more powerful creature, such as a Keeper or Void Lurker, was responsible for the birth of the Iysk.
The Iysk are a generally reclusive people, preferring to live in their own, underground, societies. On this front they are different than the Dwarves they are mistaken for, as they prefer solitude, while the Iysk prefer grand cavernous cities. The two species do, however, share a heightened skill with technology, and are some of the more mechanically gifted creatures in the world.
While it is unknown how many Iysk there are or how far they spread, there are two major cities known to Humanity: Kal'Karaduum in Krolesk, and Kaer'Maevel in Varrenholm. These cities are predominantly off limits to outsiders, moreso Kal'Karaduum than Kaer'Maevel, but there have been some exceptions made for allies of the Iysk. The reason for this caution comes not only for an instinct for isolation, but a bitter history with Humanity that involves conquer, slaughter, and conflict largely stemming from ancient Jarulian Imperialism.
