Description[]
The Hoburghers are a race of honest and well organized halfmen. They are famous for their skill in farming, their skill in manipulating iron and of course the best beer in Elysium. The wealthiest of the Hoburghers is the Burgmeister who is at the top of the hierarchy and leads the entire Hoburgher society. Hoburghers live in fortified settlements called Hoburgs in which they usually spend all their time as long as they are not farming or hunting. Other noteworthy Hoburghers are the Horticulturist, who most importantly holds the secret of crafting perfect beer, and the Horologist, who is capable of building wondrous beings powered by clockwork mechanisms.
Though generally a peaceful and gentle people, the Hoburghers have a well developed military. They know that fighting is necessary to defend their villages and to secure new resources for their constructs or get more land for farming. Crossbows play a very prominent role in the Hoburgher army, because they enable the Hoburghers to deliver serious damage even to much larger enemies despite their small size.
As a Burgmeister it is important to conquer mines. Mines yield iron, which is necessary to equip higher quality troops. They also produce gems imbued with the powers of the Elements for the Horologist to use. The Burgmeister and the Horticulturist are able the convert regular farms to Hoburg villages for added income and increased production of the enchanted weed.
Abilities:
- Hoburgs are small and weak and move slowly
- Can convert farms to Hoburg villages.
- Horticulturist collect enchanted weed, which is used for rituals.
- Horologists collect magical gems, which can be used to create constructs.
