Subrosian

In the hidden Depths and in the hidden realm known as Subrosia, the elusive Ulra dwell in an inhospitable land most would consider uninhabitable. Known as Subrosians to the surface dwellers, they are veiled in hooded robes that conceal their features. They navigate their subterranean domain with an air of mystique that captivates the imagination. Whispers abound about the true nature of the Subrosians, with some claiming them to be grotesque beings or gloom-infested monsters, but the truth remains veiled even from their own kind.
Despite their enigmatic ways, the Ulra Tribe are not sinister beings but rather a people who cherish their privacy and the sanctity of their hidden realm. Within the Depths, they display unparalleled craftsmanship and ingenuity, crafting remarkable creations that reflect their unique understanding of the subterranean world. Possessing an affinity for the elemental forces that reside beneath the surface, they harness the powers of fire and earth to forge remarkable tools and artifacts. They are known for their industrious talents and enjoyment of all things ‘hot’. When they aren’t working hard, they are partying hard as well.
Known Settlements: Subrosians have their own domain known as Subrosia, which is located deep below Horon Plains within the Depths. Subrosians have been known to emerge to explore the surface, but are very secretive about the chasms they use to reach the surface.
