Amiq
Races • DnD 5e
Appearance
Amiqs are large humanoids with dark, cragged, earthlike skin. They have thin slits for eyes and long hollow tubes that extrude from various parts of their bodies. The tubes act like a vent for an internal forge within their torso. Their skin often has cracks that, along with all other previous parts, glow in a color based on their subrace.
Culture
They pride themselves in their knowledge of crafting called The Craft. Even at a young age, The Crafts allows an amiq to pick up crafting techniques easily. Anyone who cannot do so is useless in their eyes. Their Craftcities are often led by master craftsmen, usually amiqs, who have proven worthy of the position with their craftsmanship.
History
Amiq’s forces the hand of other races who refuse to submit to their rule, often resulting in wars. This caused their population to dwindle and be restricted to a few Craftcities. However, they managed to regain the favor of the world when they created the first magic circuits to compensate for the dwindling magic in the world.
Location
Amiq originated from the Eternal Mazes of Praecurium. They were awakened within the labyrinth a long time ago and have formed their Craftcities around their exits. Over time, Amiqs have migrated out of their origin city to “grace the world with their knowledge of The Craft'
