Misks

Physiology

These humanoid mice are small, about 1m high, quick and agile with keen senses and a thick fur that is usually white, gray or black, sometimes brown.

Psychology

Shy and cautious, they are soft-spoken, gentle and keen observers. They are difficult to befriend, but are charming once you enter their close circle.

Mice

They view mice as their relatives, if very distant ones. They'll be happy to meet one who passes by and will easily notice their presence, but will never make them noticeable, knowing very well that most intelligent races have a poor opinion of them.

Language

They speak what is known as Misky. It is difficult for other races to speak, except for Srogs, and few can understand it who do not have high sense acuity.

It also has a highly developed written form.

Society

Even though they do not have a nation to call their own, and never have, preferring to mix with others, they are present everywhere in the known world. The moment there is more than a single family in any settlement, they'll form a little commune and develop an enclave of their own, so you can find some in event small town, but not in every town.

Organization

They organize by families, with the elder, male or female, running the unit. In any enclave, there is a council of elders where matters pertaining to the group are discussed openly until a unanimous decision is reached.

Values

Gregariousness

Being small, they view unity as their strongest allies. They will always group together, strive for consensus and help each other.

Kindness

They often extend their gregarious help to others, helping however they can, if they can. This led them to be used heavily as spies during Demon Wars.

Knowledge

Their favorite thing to do is study and gather knowledge. It is what they find most pleasant and fun to do in life.
