Cumadair

The cumadair are the mystics of dwarven culture. They have a particular affinity for magics of the earth and their spirits, granting them great power and understanding of their subterranean homes.

In day-to-day life, the abilities of the cumadair are brought to bear in the form of creating light and heat for their cities, facilitating the growth of crops, locating and extracting ore and minerals from mines, and in the handling of and treating with the spirits of the land and the dead.

The cumadair are venerated in dwarven culture, and granted much leeway and authority, even by those who officially hold it. They often occupy positions of council or advise for leadership, but almost never assume official roles themselves.

New cumadair are trained through apprenticeships with more seasoned shapers. These are largely informal in nature, and can last anywhere from months to a lifetime. It is not uncommon for apprentices to move between several mentors as they master different aspects of their craft.

As they progress through their training and take on more substantial roles their achievements are represented in their robes. Cumadair robes, the standard attire of their order, are a plain, warm grey. The back of the robes feature unique and evolving depictions of a root system, starting below the collar and expanding down the full length of the robes as they advance in their knowledge, ability, and achievements.
