Welcome to Curious Quill, an original content resource for d20 roleplaying.
We have spent time highlighting the people of Taluma: dwarves, elves, orcs, and urchins. Now it’s time to focus on the beasts of the world, from the natural to the preternatul, even the unnatural. You can find an introduction to the classification of beasts here, but follow the posts this season and the bestiary tag to read more about the unique folklore of the beasts of Taluma.
Dwarven Winter Festival
The dwarves of Taluma have two primary celebrations throughout the year, celebrating the advancement of the year, but more importantly honoring their tutelary deities Sol and Eosta, the Lord and Lady of the sun and Eost, the planet: fire and earth. They occur at the beginning and midpoint of what the dwarves consider a year, starting with the rise of the sun on the winter solstice and the midway point of the summer solstice.

Dwarf Beverages
Though dwarves are known for consumption of ale, there are actually few dwarven brews, instead they purchase barrels from humans and they drink it like water - to them it is a ‘soft’ drink, and even youth drink it seemingly unaffected by its low alcohol content. They make their own spirits from other sources than grain.
