Cave Dwellers

Cave Dwellers

Endogean (Entrance Zone)
The Endogean is deceptively like the surface environment. It has ample natural sunlight, photosynthesizing plants

Stone Gnomes
Stone Gnomes are actually not actually any different from their tree trunk dwelling kin. Instead they settle in caves only for the relative protection it grants small creatures like them from larger monsters. As such they settle in ravines and dead end caves which generally limit the chances of conflict with other humanoids.

Kobolds
While Kobolds are also found in the Endogean and in above ground ruins, they are significantly more common the Parahypogean where humans dare to venture and dwarfs ignore.
