Delf

― J.R.R. Tolkien

Underground miners and architects all working towards a singular goal. Germanic.

Society

When it comes to matters not related to treasure or wealth, the Delven are a focused yet amicable people - generally feasting and working as suits their own immediate whims.

First impressions are important, however, as once a Delf has formed opinions on a person or concept they are unlikely to ever shake them.
