Trog

A heritage of formidable constitution and enduring resilience, Trogs are among the most physically durable beings in Vesperfall. Their hide hardens instinctively in moments of threat or heightened awareness, becoming difficult to pierce and nearly impossible to cut; a defense that rewards those patient enough to earn their trust. They are largely unbothered by temperature extremes and resistant to most forms of magical influence or compulsion, their minds as steady and grounded as their bodies. They feel pain. It took the world a long time to ask, and longer still to care. Beneath the strength lies something quieter; a capacity for forgiveness, inner peace, and devotion that most heritages spend lifetimes trying to cultivate. Trogs arrive there naturally. The world has rarely rewarded them for it, placing them instead in roles defined by hardship, labor, and the comfort of those who benefit most from never questioning why.
