Keld

    Kelds are usually 3' to 4' tall and weigh roughly 100 pounds.  They have odd skin tones that normally vary with where they are living.  Those in the city are pinkish-pale, while those in the forests have been known to be green, some even say that there are blue Kelds who live under water. Their hair however does not normally change with their surroundings, although many dye their hair to fit in somewhat.  Their ears normally come to a subtle point, not as pronounced as elves. Kelds live for about 75 years.

     Kelds by their very nature are collectors.  They tend to adventure early on in life to find interesting items and then slowly store away what they have found.  Normally as a Keld gets older he or she tends to remain at home more and more.  Some stay to protect their "collections," others believe they have the most unique items they will ever see and do not believe they ever need to leave their homes again. Most Kelds are extremely curious.  This is part of the reason most choose to adventure early in life.  Kelds have many times found themselves in a sticky situations because of their curiosity.

    Kelds are not known to have devised their own technology but have co-opted other races.  For example their homes normally resemble human homes when living among humans, and dwarf homes while living with dwarves.  Because of this lack of originality some believe that Kelds cannot be trusted and many a merchant has sworn that the "Kelds robbed him" when he or she was beaten to the market with an idea, even if a Keld was no where to be found.

    Keldic families are loose knit organizations that tend to ebb and flow over time simply because Kelds are in pursuit of wealth and larger "collections". Normally Keldic births are also naming ceremonies.  Immediately after the newborn is delivered the child is named for life, normally the first thing one of the parents sees.  Many believe this goes back to the lack of Keldic originality.    Kelds have no family or last names but normally substitute names of their towns or their parents if they ever need to differentiate themselves from one another.  Such occasions are extremely rare however, since most Keld names are so unique, such as Falling Pail, or Leather boot.

    Kelds worship many different gods.  There is no specific god or group of gods that get worshiped more or less by Kelds.

    Kelds have a diet similar to an average human although normally their spices are more diverse, and heavy.  Because of this many believe that Keldic food is overdone or spoiled, however that simply is not the case.
