Raumviran

Dungeons & Dragons Campaign Accessory: Forgotten Realms: Races of Faerun

Descended from the inhabitants of the great empire of Raumathar, the Raumvirans retain little of their former glory.
In the present day, Raumvirans are concentrated along the shores of the Lake of mists and the city of Almorel. Physically, Raumvirans bear a close resemblance to the Rashemi, indicative of centuries of close ties between the two groups. Although taller on average than their western neighbors, the Raumvirans are also generally stout and muscular, with dark eyes and thick black hair. Raumvirans are generally of lighter hue than the Rashemi, evidence of significant Sossrim heritage dating back to the height of their long-fallen empire.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Members of this ethnic group speak Raumvira, a tongue closely related to Rashemi, Dwarven, and a northern dialect of Imaskari. Raumvirans employ an alphabet of Dethek runes taught to them before the founding of Raumathar by the Siremun dwarves of the Firepeaks, a range of mountains to the east of the Lake of Mists.
