Races

## Arcul

### Description

The arcul are humanoid but more akin to a walrus, boasting large tusks which are decorated and ornamental with an otherwise humanly outward appearance. Their feet are webbed for better maneuverability in the water and their arms are very large and muscular. one arm covered in ice is their main weapon, acting like a longsword.

### Society

The arcul are a tribal group that live in the frozen wasteland, they have the strongest wills of most races, enduring the cold and living in constant pain. They have a ritual for the coming of age where the young arcul dips his forearm in the frozen water and after several minutes release their arm. This ritual freezes the arm and makes it hard as iron, the arm is then sharpened in a painful process called moulding, the arm is then able to be used as a weapon.

### Relations

Arcul are nomadic with little interaction with any other race, amongst themselves they are ruthless, always working on bringing out the most in each member of the tribe. All are welcome to become warriors but if men decide to follow another path besides warrior they are either exiled or killed, normally it would be killed because no one wants to waste good meat.

### Alignment and Religion

The arcul are truly neutral as a race, deciding that survival and furthering their own cause is the most important thing and morals can come after. They have no true religion, believing in only the power of their own strength, they believe that religion is a way for the weak to believe they are strong and thus rely only on their strength to get them through trouble.

### Adventurers

Any among the arcul that become adventurers do not do it out of choice, most adventurers are thrown out for having some defect, either they wouldn't follow the herd or they would be to weak to become anything in society. Those who have chosen a life of adventure are branded with a mark burned by ice, branding them a traitor and any other arcul tribe will then hunt them down and kill them.
