Cervus believe in their own god the mordyr. Cervus are naturally inquisitive and curious creature that only talk when necessary, and when they do talk they dont give very much, because they mostly communicate through body language. They live in forests and collect "artifacts" from monsters and animals. If you were to give a Cervus community the hand of a demon for example they would give you their finest warrior, a bed to sleep in, etc. Cervus live in tight knit community of 20-30 however multiple communities live within a hundred feat of eachother just incase one community runs into trouble   • Alignment. Cervus are inclined toward neutrality.   • Size. Cervus stand between 5 and 7 feet tall. Your size is Medium.   • Your creature type is humanoid.   • Impale. If you move at least 25 feet straight toward a target and successfully attack then you can knock the target prone dealing 1d4-1 peircing damage   • Ways of the forest. you instinctively know when danger is near, any creature that attempts to sneak attack is given disadvantage on his attack roll   • Tracking. any climb that requires hands and feet is especially effortless for you because of your humanoid hands and feet but gifted mind. Conversely however every right space is difficult because of antlers   • Wild. You have proficiency in one of the following skills: Animal Handling, Nature, or Survival.   • Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and primordial.   Each community of curvus has a ruler named the Setofawn. He is a leader who takes count of what needs to be done and makes sure the community is surviving. The Setifawn is almost always male and chosen from a group of strong men by the Unirin who's job is to manage the people themselves, she is almost always female.   Like lions female cervus do the fighting and hunting carrying their children on their backs so they pick up early the way of the arrow and blade.   The males care for the children the rest of the time. They also deal with trade, fishing, harvesting, and Smithing.   When a male fawn grows to a juvenile he is sent to a neighboring community to find love. This does mean interbreeding with cervus is not uncommon as orcs, human, kobolds, goblins, gnolls, and at one point elves all lived around cervus communities.   No two weapons are the same in cervus communities, when a male and female cervus become married their ceremony involves them making a bow and arrow together putting each of their unique designs into it. After marriage the male will make 4 swords each unique. 1 for himself, 1 for his wife, 1 for his first born, and 1 for his second born. Then on the third day of ceremony they travel to a river alone together.   They make up for their physical ineptitude with cleverness, magical prowess, and weapon skill.   They love wyverns and have even been know to make wyverns a home, daily meals, and protect them from bigger threats like dragons. This mainly has to do with their god mordyrs attraction to wyverns, this has caused unique deer like wyvern hybrids called odemef to be born into the world by him.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and xenicoth.
