Demrin

Summary

The Demrin are a tall, muscular race of Bovine humanoids often colloquialized as Bison men. They are native to the planes and forests of old Demrin, now called Ca'Demrin. They were created by Mekramat, who led a splinter group of Sar'aan's pantheon that would later be called the Wilderun gods (who are responsible for most of the bestial races).

Physical Description

Standing between 181Cm to 223Cm, the Demrin are tall and muscular with broad shoulders. They typically have a slight hunch, and their heads jut forward. Their faces are almost identical to their Bison ancestors, albeit with a clear 'light' of intelligent thought between their eyes.
Their horns begin at the sides of their heads, and curve either upward (Highhorns) or downward (Lowhorns) depending on their ancestral locality. The Demrin's eyes are at the side of their head, and their already poor vision cannot see objects immediately in front of their face.

Psychological Description

Demrin are stubborn and tribal, and can be easy to anger. However they often chose to avoid engaging in combat without good reason. Due to their strength and stubbornness they make great physical laborers, and in mixed-species societies they are often hired to hall loads of great weight.

Cultural Basics

Most Demrin live a nomadic lifestyle in large tribal herds that travel from north to south regularly, perhaps once every year. They have a strong sense of duty and will rarely abandon their herds. Their greatest strength is in numbers, that when combined with their physical strength and speed allow them to trample most opponents.

History

Like all races created by the Wilderun gods the Demrin were forged from an already existing species. In the case of the Demrin they were created by Mekramat, who transofrmed wild Bison into a sentient race sometime before the first age.

Advanced Physiology

Skeletal and Muscular Structures The Demrin have broad bones and large muscles, granting them great durability. They are capable of great bursts of speed, and are known to charge with their horns forward.
Diet The Demrin are purely herbivorous, as were their Bison ancestors. They are capable of digesting ruffage such as grasses and bushes that most other races cannot.
Miscellaneous Demrin have poorer vision then most sentient species, but make up for this with excellent hearing and an extremely keen sense of smell. Due to this they make poor archers, but more than passable scouts.
