Though they often stand well under 5 feet tall, Hjort are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as an [[Arctander]] standing nearly two feet taller. Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger folk. > [!Table of Contents]+ > 1. [[#Appearance]] > 2. [[#Traits and Abilities]] > 3. [[#History]] > 4.

Hjort have a deep affinity for stone and metal and for living underground. The first settlements of Hjort were built in hills or mountains, and eventually grew into some of the first great cities on Mobius--massive civilizations carved into the sides of mountains. Ancient Hjort kingdoms also stretched deep beneath the mountains where the Hjort mined gems and precious metals and forged items of wonder. # Society Hjort are solid and enduring like the mountains they love, weathering the passage of centuries with stoic endurance and little change. They respect the traditions of their clans, tracing their ancestry back to the founding of their most ancient strongholds in the youth of the world, and don’t abandon those traditions lightly. Part of those traditions is devotion to the science of metallurgy, the Hjort ideals of industrious labor, skill in battle, and devotion to their craft of weapon smithing. They love the beauty and artistry of precious metals and fine minerals. The chief unit of Hjort society is the clan, and Hjort highly value social standing. Even Hjort who live far from their original kingdoms cherish their clan identities and affiliations, recognize related Hjort, and invoke their ancestors’ names in oaths and curses.
