Elves & Swimming

The elves of Taluma, especially Moon elves, not only swim for fun, but compete against each other or just themselves and the sea. These are not usually speed competitions, but distance. Landmarks like an island may be swam to, or they take a ship out and swim back to land. They also hold swim dancing competitions judged on their artistry in the water. In each of these cases they do not swim against the water, but with it. They show their skill to read the waves and move like denizens of the sea rather than ones of the land.

Dwarves & Smoking

Dwarven holds are filled with smoke, and not just from the fires of hearths and forges, torches and candles. A large amount of it comes from the pipes they are fond of smoking.
