Savarath (5e Race)

Savarath

Physical Description

By The M-Man

Savaraths resemble bulky demons and are usually the color of stone and rock, although they can sometimes be the colors of gemstones. Their skin is made of all the different types of stone which depends on their region of birth. Their bones are also made from the same metal they were forged with. They also have horns of all shapes and sizes which are also made from the same metal, essentially bone protruding from their head.

History

Savaraths are beings that were formed of stone and metal. They were created as servants for the dwarves by a small circle of incredible intelligent forgers among the community. These constructs had the size and ability to heft loads of ore for the dwarves. However, unbeknownst in the original design, they developed sentience. They eventually rebelled against the dwarves and fled into the deeper underground where they dwell to this day. On their own, they became more humanoid over the following years after release from captivity, even developing gender preference. They melded different metals to their bodies to make new alloys that served them as armors. The dwarves are the only race who know about the savarath origins. For the past years, the savarath have studied all the beings on the surface to decide which of them would make great allies or dangerous enemies.

Society

The savarath prefer to live underground, as their powers are stronger there. The savarath were at war with the dwarves many centuries ago, but are now largely forgotten. These creatures are peaceful among each other and aggressive to any outsider that enters their home. The savarath homes are split up in a hierarchy based on the value of the metal on their body. The savarath live in a cave system deep underground, far in the depths of the Underdark. Their home is known as the Hollow and that is where they now originate from. They do not like any other race because they do not trust them, which is why they study all races to see if they can find any allies to fight against the dwarves. Their villages are run by royalty who are usually the gold rank. The gold ranks are also the only rank who can speak to the platinum ranks, which are seen as gods to the savarath. Now the savarath are starting to explore the world above ground to test all races to see who their allies could be.
