Shal

The Shal are a race of bulky, red-skinned people. They are spread across the lower half of Caldenn, though their capital is Pyrus Shal

Appearance
The Shal are red or orange-skinned humanoids. Most are well-built, and are well suited to be melee fighters. They wear large, black armour to protect themselves from their enemies and the sun.

Personality
Occasionally brutish, almost always enormous, the Shal are often fierce in their manner and opinions. They will mainly focus on survival, and adopt a "shoot first, ask questions later" strategy. This doesn't mean that they are selfish however, and will readily help those in need, provided they are able.

Proficiencies

 * Blacksmithing; their black armour is famous across the whole world for its performance.
 * Written magic; many adventurers and guards will tattoo useful symbols or words to themselves of their armour to use quickly in battle. Those with a large amount of tattoos are heralded as incredible magicians.

Culture
The Shal are led by a single monarch, who acts with a board of advisors. Significant people are often given titles, forgoing their last name in favour of it.

They worship and fear the sun, for it gets incredibly hot at midday. Most Shal will sleep during the hottest parts of the day, most work being done at night.
