Amikwànò

The Amikwànò are an industrious race of beavers who’s works of engineering are known throughout the world. They are well used by cities and nations worldwide to design and construct national landmarks. They are also used for a lot of mundane construction as well, for example, buildings and bridges. Despite how widely they are used, the Amikwànò are very protective of their secrets and look to keep all knowledge of their engineering to themselves. They have been known to go to great lengths to do so, sometimes at the expense of others, but if you are paying them well they put blood, sweat and tears into their work.
