[hider=RACE][h2][b][u]Children of Rom[/u][/b][/h2] The Children of Rom are the descendants of the great black spider Rom, whose death created a new biome. The Children of Rom are large arthropods, reaching lengths of up to ten meters. The Children have hard chitinous exoskeletons and venomous fangs. The Children, as a result of their descent from a god, are well in tune with magic, and have a deeply shamanic culture dedicated to the worship of their mother. Living underground and harvesting the viscous black oily substance from the nearby waters as a food source, The Children are hard to find, and approaching their homes is very dangerous. They mostly keep to themselves, but every few decades, an army of arthropods marches from the Mists to assault any nearby settlements before returning home, carrying off the inhabitants for unknown reasons.[/hider]
