Bvanen Cave City

The bvanen are a race of intelligent and benevolent amphibians that dwell in the swamp at the base of the Jagged Cliffs. The Bvanen Cave City is the largest settlement that these creatures call home, tucked away in the partially submerged caves below the halflings above them. The bvanen make simple structures out of wood, grass, and secretions from their bodies. Every member of bvanen society takes on the role of caretaker or hunter/warriors. The caretakers look after small flocks of animals and tend to the needs of the settlements, whereas the hunters patrol the swamps looking for game.

The bvanen are generally a kind and gentle race, but can be very reclusive and suspicious of strangers. Their mistrust can often lead them into unexpected conflicts, which has damaged their reputation with outside races. The halflings on the Jagged Cliffs see the bvanen as neither friend nor foe, and have no official protocols in dealing with the amphibians. No conflicts have occurred between the two races for centuries, although very little friendly diplomatic contact has occurred either.
