Flint

Flint are a Terran blooded race, their skin and hair has grown hard and rugged in the waste lands. They are the main inhabitants of Bastuaries, having spent generations exposed to the Ether that infests the wastes, their mutation is one that strengthens their resolve against outsiders, stubborn to leave the land their ancestors once called home. Be it in fortresses built on the ruins of hundreds of others, or in caves inscribed with the runes of their ancestors, Shale find a way to watch over their land.

For the majority of the Flint, where others would have hair is more bone like, appearing as ridges of shale like rock, these ridges break easily and grow just as hair does. Shoulder tall to most other races, sometimes Flint have small man syndrome, and are often disliked in communities for how much dust is created in result of their 'hair', often being chiseled down or off, in a bastuary sand and dust whirls and builds up everywhere, and so Flint are often not conscious of their refuse.

Rarity. Uncommon, Flint are common in the wilds and mountains, but tend to not find the great cities very comfortable. Those that do move to the city, make these cities their mountains, becoming great builders and architects from their knowledge of refined and hard natural materials, or creating trade relationships with their cousins in the wastes.
