-A dwarven people that lived in isolation until their discovery by [[wiki:​races:​casadians|Casadian]] explorers in 530 A.I., little is known about the Mittilari. Discussions with priests have revealed some limited insights about the history of the Mittilari. There are no written historical records save for epitaphs carved onto tombs. The stories told by these epitaphs combined with the oral history shared by the priests tell the tale of a great catastrophe that seems to align chronologically with The Fleeing. Prior to this cataclysm, the Mittilari lived in great cities to the south of the jungle. The Mittilari fled into the jungle to escape from what the epitaphs describe as a ‘great darkness’ ​ that consumed their civilization. The exact nature of this ‘darkness’ is lost to time, as no records from that time remain besides vague legends. Their mistrust of strangers is partially rooted in a belief that they will bring the ‘great darkness’ with them.+A dwarven people that lived in isolation until their discovery by [[wiki:​races:​casadians|Casadian]] explorers in 530 A.I., little is known about the Mittilari.

-Each settlement is governed by a tribunal known as a [i]kazarn[/i]. Each member of the [i]kazarn[/i] is elected by the denizens of the settlement and maintain their position for life.

 The Mittilari are skilled apothecaries and healers. The Mittlari are loath to part with their medicinal recipes, though gifts of fine tools and weapons have resulted in limited sharing of this knowledge. They have extensive knowledge of the various plants of the jungle and their uses in potions and medicines.

The latter is so dangerous that Mittilari children are required to ingest small amounts of it over time to build up an immunity. Without resistance to the poison or an antidote, death is certain to follow within an hour should the poison enter the blood. The Mittilari are skilled apothecaries and healers.
