The Sul people live in the far southeastern portion of Fälgorna,
mostly in the Kingdom of Lorence and in the dwarven lands of Het.
The Sul have mixed culturally and racially with the dwarves over
the years and dwarven blood definitely flows in their veins.
Suls are usually very short and sturdy. Most Sul have a great
deal of body hair, even among the women (which troubles them),
and in general resemble tall thin dwarves. Their hair color is
usually brown or dirty blond. Common eye colors are brown and
blue.
In general, the Sul people are stubborn, unfriendly and xenophobic.
They believe the family is the most important social unit, followed
by the Sul people in general. Most Sul are able to speak Dwarven
and know much about dwarven customs. A Sul character receives
the Common Dwarven tongue and Local Dwarf History as bonus nonweapon
skills. The Sul people are isolated from much of the human civilized
world and therefore do not automatically speak the Trade Tongue
(0% skill). Sul characters who wish to speak Trade Tongue must
spend skill points to learn it.
The dwarven blood flowing in the veins of the Sul and their close
contact with dwarven culture has molded the Sul personality and
physique. Ten percent of Sul characters have limited, 30', infravision.
Sul, like their dwarven cousins, are not overly friendly and do
not gain the normal +1 bonus to Charisma that other humans receive,
but instead are penalized by -1 to Charisma. However, their closeness
to dwarves has made them a strong willed people. Sul characters
receive a +2 bonus to Ego.
