Bargain-Carry Demon

Creature
Sunlight-Sensitivity Dark Elf

Creature
Superior-Darkness Dark Elf
The elven line in the deep, tall and narrow-waisted, with skin the deep violet to a near-black and a network of fine, pale violet veins at the temples. It is at home in the dark the way the surface is at home in the light, and the dark never burns it.

Hearth-Keeper Fire Goblin
A small, patient volcanic goblin who tends the caldera's magma lake as a hearth, keeping the fire banked for the pack through every slow season.
