Eschar

"'The Kaltstein’s a-breakin’ since last the Eschar came.”" "—Wasleol"

Sometimes called the "Deep Race," the Eschar were a subterranean species known for their feats of craftsmanship and engineering.

Society and culture
The Eschar inhabited a place called the Underdeep, or a giant network of underground caves and tunnels beneath the Grauwelt. The Underdeep was in fact split into two distinct kingdoms: Hinland and Gelmda.

The Eschar always kept to themselves, shunning all outsiders.

They were ingenious craftsmen and builders.

History
The Eschar were said to revere Schall as their master.

The species built the Kaltstein for Ilnel and also equipped him with several tassenmaschine. This was done by the King of Hinland in exchange for a peace accord with the Kaltmark. Ilnel later reneged and had the King of Hinland assassinated. This strained relationship forced the Eschar to withdraw from contact with the Löwa and as a consequence the Kaltstein fell into disrepair; the Löwa did not possess the capability to fix and maintain it without the Eschar's help.
