"The only thing that scares me more than a Wyvern is a Wyvern that can talk. Renders come across as normal enough, until you see one of them lose it in the middle of a fight. Still, I’d rather see one sitting at my table than coming across a battlefield at me"

Malin Overforge, proprietor of the Weeping Maiden Inn


Renders are often confused for their savage cousins Wyverns. The two are very similar physically, though Renders are intelligent and do not share the Wyvern’s appetite for flesh. Renders have been living among other races for long generations now and occupy almost every social station. Despite their natural combat prowess, Renders are rare in regular military service as they tend to be very proud and get into arguments with their officers. Many Renders excel in mercenary units where command is more loosely structured.

Preferring combat with their own claws, most Renders have a disdain for manufactured weapons, and have difficulty learning to use them. They likewise find armor to be far too restrictive to wear over their thick hides.

Though Renders are completely capable of being civilized, all renders have hot tempers and are capable of terrible violence when roused. It is this savage streak that causes the most fear of Renders in the other races.

While commonly thought of as warriors, Renders who do not focus on their natural fighting ability are often capable spell casters, scholars, seers, merchants or craftsmen.
