Alps

We Alps sure do love our hats. We are considered a small race to most as we stand around 4-5 feet in height; although I would tell you that everyone else is simply far too large! You can easily recognize our kind by our skin and hair, which can be of any color you could imagine. We Alps first arrived at the Black Coast along with the Nords. Our own origin and history has long been forgotten and we have no native language of our own. Probably because of our value on new experiences and travel, we are more likely to be found in the communities of other species rather than starting up settlements with our own kind.

We Alps form a rather reliable and practical marital system; Every Alp is expected to have both one wife, and one husband, forming what we call family chains. Although we can sometimes ignore our spouses in our pursuits, dare I say we Alps have an almost obsessive compulsion to reach our goals; goals that can change every few decades. I had a rather successful career as an artist for nearly 90 years until I just gave away all my paintings and packed up to live the life of an explorer. We are amazing story tellers and are prone to living in the moment. Because of this we may sometimes neglect to procreate… come to think of it, I haven't seen my wife in nearly 19 years… I should go find her.

But back to the point. An Alps favorite item is their hat which are often as huge and as extravagant as we can get away with. We are fantastic with numbers and hard working, making us excellent accountants, bankers, and engineers. It is said that if you steal an Alps hat he will grant you a wish upon its return. Or that if you save their lives they can grant a wish, or that if you drink all the blood of an Alp your greatest wish will come true. THESE ARE DEFINITELY NOT TRUE! Because of these rumors, I have to employ bodyguards!
