Fomorian

The Fomorians are a race of people that have been banished to the Mourian Underworld.

Description
Fomorians are large, towering up to nearly twice the height of an average human. Their skin tends to be an ashy, ruddy pink, and they lack lips. They have only one eye, and their noses are stubbed and small. Their clothing is usually very sparse, made from scrapped materials and various types of animal bones.

History
The Fomorians are a race of monstrous immortal giants who once ruled Ireland. When the Tuatha came to power, they banished the Fomorians to a small corner of the Mourian Underworld. The Fomorians have been in exile for thousands of years, biding their time until they have an opportunity to retake their ancestral home.

Though they initially could live in peace outside of the Underworld, humans began hunting and killing Fomorians as a display of heroism, equating them not to people, but to common monsters due to their fearsome appearance and ability to regenerate. In response, the Fomorians have become angry, violent, and cannibalistic. Their king allows his subjects to eat his limbs in order to subsist. This vulgar behavior has caused the Mourians to look down on them with disdain, and treat them as second-class citizens.

Culture
Originally, the Fomorians were a deeply honorable people, and they had accepted their defeat as their destiny until the hunting and poor treatment of their kind drove them to anger and hatred.

Half-Fomorians
Half-Fomorians, the mortal children of a Fomorian and a human, are uncommon⏤but they are much more widely accepted than their gruesome kin. Militaries and mercenary groups often seek out Half-Fomorians to add imposing figures to their ranks.
