Their ambition and resourcefulness are commended, respected, and feared throughout [[Mobius]]. Arctander are as diverse in appearance as the people of [[Mobius]]. > [!Table of Contents]+ > 1. [[#Appearance]] > 2. [[#Traits and Abilities]] > 3. [[#History]] > 4. [[#Society]] # Appearance With their penchant for migration, Arctander are more physically diverse than other common species. There is no typical Arctander. Their skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, and hair colors from black to blond. A lot of Arctander have a dash of non-Arctander blood, revealing hints of [[Grue]], [[Hjort]], or other lineages. Arctander reach adulthood in their late teens and rarely live longer than 70 years. # Traits and Abilities **Resourceful**. You gain Heroic Inspiration whenever you finish a Long Rest. **Skillful**. You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice. **Versatile**. You gain an Origin feat of your choice. # History # Society Arctander are the youngest of the Oldfangled races, late to arrive on the scene and somewhat shorter-lived in comparison to [[Grue]], [[Hjort]], and [[Laudal]]. Perhaps it is because of their shorter lives and younger culture that they strive to achieve as much as they can. Or maybe they feel they have something to prove to the older species, and that’s why they seek to build mighty empires on the foundation of conquest and trade. Whatever drives them, Arctander are innovators, achievers, and pioneers of the worlds. Arctander are daring and ambitious. They seek to earn glory in the eyes of their fellows by amassing power, wealth, and fame. More than other people, Arctander champion causes rather than territories or groups.
