Občan Dwarves

Občans are stocky, stubborn people from the Obča Peninsula on the eastern coast of Udin. Občans have been a persecuted people for a large portion of history. After being displaced from the Vaemor Peninsula, they traveled across the sea, finally settling in Obča. However, the Alkhafia, the Merians, and the Ymrafael have all had a hand in subjugating the Občans.

The culture of the Občans is more subdued than that of their Rodinan predessecors. They have been nearly assimilated into the Writyephy faith, although their place in the belief system has lead to strife. Slavery was the only place for the Občan under the Ecoqunian empire for a long period of time, with them winning their freedom only relatively recently. Now, the Občan push against the yoke of Ecoqunia, who are now attempting to bring the Občans back into the fold, as the People of the Form.

Občans were treated harshly under Merian rule and have only minor roles in the realms of the Alkhafia. Leaving them to choose between staying in the lands of their oppressors or fighting adversety on the Merlieu Peninsula.

Now, Občans are trying to find their place in the world. Rebellion has been the underlying emotion in their lands for so long that they do not know much else. Still, Občan who seek more from life find themselves in far off lands, where bigotry may meet them.

Many Občans believe that the Cimmerian Threat was the Vitiate that had been the catelyst in their diaspora. They fear the day that another may attack their new peninsula.
