When explorers travel to the most inhospitable places in the world, where death is a constant companion. Sometimes they will find something completely unexpected; a village.

Physical Description

History

The Grounts place of origin and only nation is Grunda, situated in a active volcanic region in the depths of the artic. Which is practically unknown to the outside world due to its inaccessibility and inhospitablness. Grounts also have settlements they've made within other nations borders inside their most dangerous areas such as; mountain tops, poisonous swamps, center of deserts, ocean trenches and places with chaotic magic. Despite the proximity, they have little to do with other species except for the occasional trade of rare resources for technology. And so most of the contact with and information of Grounts comes from when the Grounts are migrating to a new home.

Society

They form small groups in the most inhospitable places. Using the natural deterrent of their habitat to avoid coming into contact with potential enemies.
