Secretive and strange dog-creatures of the marshes who deal in trash and treasures.
Appearance
Sobaki resemble long snouted, hairless, pale creatures with dark eyes. They would almost look like humanoids with clawed, four fingered hands and greyhound shaped snouts. They tend to glisten in the sunlight, vaguely and when one shakes their hand, a thin, shiny film (like a slug’s) is left behind.
Personality
Sobaki are silent as a rule, very deadpan, and rarely smile. They have excellent poker faces. They are very loyal to their friends, but wary of the acquaintances they make. Sobaki have a tendency to instill paranoia, for one can never usually tell if a Sobaki is serious or not when it says it forgives you. Sobaki have strange ideas about possession, viewing ownership as transitory. Sobaki will often pocket items that are not attended to. This is not the same as stealing, since stealing requires a designation of ownership. Naturally, most other races don't appreciate this point of view.
Habitat
The Sobaki live in shacks and small houses on the swamps, and marshes of Gaeis, having large settlements in Neverbottom, Machera, Threshold, and Moon.
Society
Sobakan societies don’t talk much and individual Sobaki live very independently. As soon as a Sobaki comes of age, it goes off to live on its own, and even when coupling to have children, they keep their distance, living in separate houses. Because Sobaki have very dull teeth, all Sobakan food is by nature mushy, boiled, or mashed. Sobaki get along well with Pookah, since many of that race live in the same swamps and watersheds where the Sobaki make their homes. They positively love Gyr Golems since the Golems are always leaving spare parts laying around. Also, they usually maintain close ties and civility with the Sidhe. Sobaki clash with Zjenithi over the topic of slavery: nearly all Sobaki are disgusted by the practice.
Adventures
Some Sobaki grow weary of the swamps in which they live and decide to leave in favor of more colorful climes. Finding the man who saved your life from that Reptis and repaying him, planning a jail-break or slave revolt in Zjenahd, or joining with a pirate crew on the Sea of Swords make fine Sobaki adventures.
