The [[Ungir]] (🔊 Un-geer) are, for the most part, a highly gregarious and industrious people with a penchant for exploring the underground. Their origins come from a combination of human and draconic ancestry with mixtures of different flavors of [[Aydahar]] lineage as well. Over time the result of this great mélange of genetic experimentation lead to the current [[Ungir]], plus a few variants.

Variations of [[Ungir]] can range from timid to aggressive, inward to gregarious, yet most remain industrious. One will rarely find an [[Ungir]] who is not working on a project, be it a tunnel, a building, or nearly any enterprise imaginable. They are particularly noteworthy for their skill at building traps and preparing ambushes, and digging tunnels, the latter most often for the purposes of mining.

== Society and Culture ==
{{LoreImage|#.png|350px|left}}
The [[Ungir]] are four societies merged into one. Despite this, all four societies share a common background marked by persecution from other strains. There is no historical evidence to prove that [[Ungir]] and the [[Aydahar]] once shared common territory, but there are clues. The [[Aydahar]] language has nicknames and idioms that refer to "small dragons" that are present in their culture.

It is assumed by sophists in both cultures that the [[Ungir]] were driven out of [[Aydahar]] territory for a reason that would cause the same division today. That behavior is hoarding. The [[Ungir]] love to hoard, while the [[Aydahar]] find such behavior to be abhorrent. Dragons in [[Aydahar]] territory hoard, and this is a trait of dragons, not people, or so the Aydhar believe.

The [[Ungir]] love to hoard, and their society is dominated by those who are most successful at it. The [[Ungir]] with the largest hoard is made their king. [[Ungir]] who have provided great services to their people are awarded tokens, which can supplement their hoard, allowing a less wealthy [[Ungir]] to seize political power. [[Sur]]vival of their people is naturally more important than any hoard.

Meanwhile, the four distinct [[Ungir]] lifestyles developed mostly as survival tactics. The [[Ustinde ]]culture lives above ground in keeping with [[Aydahar]] tradition. Due to their small size, they are more likely to create easily abandoned edifices with their hoards on indoor carts ready to roll.

Their [[Karangi]] cousins dig. They build deep underground to escape pursuers from above. The [[Karangi]] can collapse tunnels, make others too small to enter, and create elaborate traps to confound anyone crazy enough to pursue them in their underground homes.

The [[Juzuu]] took to the sea and created small settlements underwater. They continue to build temporary settlements on beaches adjacent to their underwater territory. These settlements enable the [[Ungir]] to trade with air-breathing traders. These settlements can be abandoned at the first hint of trouble with little cost to the [[Juzuu]], who will replace them quickly when trouble has subsided.

The last of the cultures is the Ustinde, those [[Ungir]] who have sprouted wings. The [[Ustinde ]]can fly and throughout most of their youth, are concerned with little else than flying. They "nest" in high places and won't begin to hoard until later in life, their preoccupation with flying being a large part of their daily life.

== Physical Characteristics ==
{{LoreImage|#.png|350px|left}}
The [[Ungir]] appear to be very short and slight humans, with draconic or perhaps reptilian-looking features. They stand between 3' and 4' (60cm – 90cm) tall, weighing 35 to 45 pounds (16 – 20kg). They have a small number of scales occurring on the hands and feet, with scaly spots appearing on various locations all over their bodies. The skin and scale colors vary with the variant of [[Ungir]], but the two colors are rarely much different.

Compared to humans, their hands have considerably more robust claw-like nails, which adapt them to digging by hand (though they rarely dig this way). They also possess a crocodilian jaw, which gives away their draconic ancestry. On the back of their heads, they possess anywhere from two to four small white or tan horns, and lastly, they possess short dragon-like tails. Their tails are prehensile, but very few [[Ungir]] can manage tasks with their tails that require much dexterity.

=== Natural and Latent Abilities ===
{{LoreImage|#.png|350px|right}}
Because of the draconic "seed" that infects their blood, the [[Ungir]] have some common abilities that humans do not. They have tougher skin, covered in small scales in most places. While these scales are flexible, they do resist cuts far better than skin. The [[Ungir]] can also see better in low light.

Their tails provide them with better balance, increasing their acrobatic capabilities, and their talon-like feet and relatively small size make them good at jumping. Lastly, the [[Usatin]] [[Ungir]] have wings... and can fly.

== History ==
{{LoreImage|#.png|350px|right}}
There are two important histories of the [[Ungir]]: the pre-history and written history. As with all strains, the pre-history is all that happened before the Great Erasure, which happened over 260 years in the past. While this little-understood erasure of history literally erased all memories and written documents, clues remain.

[[Ungir]] sophists and historians recognize the tell-tale signs of [[Ungir]] culture that exist throughout the [[Aydahar]] nation of Altinquor and in the surrounding nations as well. They surmise that they had a clear history of living with and trading with the [[Aydahar]]. With the [[Ungir]] all living in ceded [[Grendel]] lands post-Erasure,

Since the Great Erasure, the [[Ungir]] people have been finding their feet. They built up towns and cities out of essentially nothing in the gods forsaken lands they were given. With nothing of value on their lands, they were rarely harassed by any but faraway travelers who wandered too close.

It wasn't until the [[Grendel]] War that the [[Ungir]] took up arms in any serious way. Clashing over the human land grab, the [[Grendel]] felt penned in on all sides and declared war on humans, nearly overtaking the neighboring country of [[Soltustik]]. When the crown prince of [[Ortalyk]] got involved in the war, the [[Ungir]] dropped the gauntlet and invaded [[Ortalyk]] from the West.

The move in solidarity with the [[Grendel]] would cost the [[Ungir]] dearly, as their campaigns were disastrous. The [[Ungir]], who are masters of defensive tactics, stalled when on the offense. With little plunder to add to their hordes, they eventually found themselves on the defensive by the war's end as their armies were pushed back. After the war, few nations would trade with them or offer any level of trust.

== [[Ungirsi]] Substrains ==

=== [[Usatin]] Substrain ===
{{LoreImage|#.png|350px|right}}
'''Description:'''The [[Usatin]] (🔊 oo-SAH-tin) can be of any other type of [[Ungir]], save that they have wings. This feature often grants them the power of flight.

'''Overview:'''Depending on the family line, roughly one in every dozen [[Ungir]] produce an Ustatin. Regardless of their coloring or previous bloodline, they will differ fundamentally by having developed a fully articulated pair of wings. Even as infants, these natural-born tunnellers will seek the surface and take to the air like birds. They quickly attain a mastery of flight that rivals, if not exceeds that of any other sapient avians on [[Otan]].

=== [[Ustinde ]] Substrain ===
{{LoreImage|#.png|350px|right}}
'''Description:'''The [[Ustinde ]](🔊 oo-STIN-dey) are the gregarious surface-dwelling [[Ungir]] most commonly seen by other peoples. Their scaly skin color ranges from brown to orange.

=== [[Juzuu]] Substrain ===
{{LoreImage|#.png|350px|right}}
'''Description:'''The [[Juzuu]] (🔊 joo-ZOO-oo) are an aquatic variety of [[Ungir]]. They sport gills enabling them to live underwater indefinitely in underwater settlements.

'''Overview:'''The [[Juzuu]] (🔊 Joo-zoo-oo) are an aquatic variety of [[Ungir]] who are very rare indeed. They sport gills enabling them to live underwater indefinitely, which is inaccessible to many adventuring parties. Even in their underwater realms, however, they naturally seek to tunnel and build their abodes in underground caves and tunnels beneath the ocean floor.
{{-}}

=== [[Karangi]] Substrain ===
{{LoreImage|#.png|350px|right}}
'''Description:'''The [[Karangi]] (🔊 kah-RAHN-gee) are a dark-featured variety of the [[Ungir]] who are content to live their entire lives far beneath the surface of [[Otan]].
