Here's another Mythscape project. This one was a bit more of a deep dive on a specific location and culture- The dwill of Suzhong!

The dwill are lizard-like humanoids typically standing between four and five feet tall. They are often referred to as the crafters of the gods. They originally came to the Harborlands to build the holy city of Rayhaven for the Keeper Gods. The dwill prefer to live underground so they also constructed Suzhong, their own builder colony to the East of Rayhaven. Rayhaven and Suzhong are connected by gondola lines.

Suzhong is lit by massive skylights in the roof of its cavern. The city overlooks a crystal-lit lake. The dwill of Suzhong tend to favor colorful stained glass and sturdy structures.

When developing the dwill I've always leaned on references from Bronze Age China and its pottery.
