Älgar

Renowned as diplomats and peace-seekers, the Älgar are a race of humanoids with moose-like features. Typically solitary, the Älgar are famous for being explorers and artisans, though in modern times most älgar have settled into farming settlements or large cities.
The Älgar are native to the Plains of Othe, favoring the woodlands, though since the Kithik invasion they have moved closer to settlements and have given up much of their nomadic lifestyles.
Defining features of the Älgar include large horns (for adult male Älgar), thick fur, elongated heads and faces with ruminant features, and a diet consisting solely of plants; they cannot digest meat and require grains or fruit to remain healthy.
The Älgar are rarely found in Halor, being native to another continent. They are often mistaken for Grotesques there.

Talents

Songspeech (1)

The Älgar are solitary, but still communicate with each other using songs that carry long distances even in windy or noisy conditions. These deep droning songs can travel up to a mile before becoming difficult to hear, and can be sung in the common tongue or in a language known only to other Älgar at the singer's discretion. Many Älgar become spellsingers to take advantage of their voices.
