Hearthom

The Hearthom are the most mysterious race to walk the world. No one knows where they come from, but records show that they suddenly appeared a little over 700 years ago. What is known is that they appear to be made of some sort of living stone, which while hard, is warm to the touch. They are also the merchants, diplomats, and arms dealers of the world. Almost anything can be obtained from a Hearthom merchant, for the right place.Most Hearthom wear breeches and shirts, although they have no reason to. Their stone skin protects them from the elements, but it is said they do so out of respect for the other races and to better fit in.
