Races 45 – Beavers
It is an intelligent race that looks like the slightly more known lesser beaver. They are slightly larger and their constructions dwarf everything the lesser beavers could even hope to build.
As they are only able to live in secluded spaces due to their low fighting capabilities, they only have a few enemies to worry about. One of these enemies are harpies [R44] which they fight back using bows. They are however incapable of walking around and firing these bows at the same time as they still walk on all fours.
Naturally, they are capable of speech, completely unlike the lesser beaver. They borrowed the language from the elves, although they made some slight alterations. Vulgar speech is extremely common in their day to day conversations for example. Beavers are extremely racist and lean towards the extreme right of the political spectrum.
Strengths:
- Capable of building large dams which can be used as a living space
- Live only in secluded areas that are generally safe from outsiders due to their geography, see [P48] for example.
Weaknesses:
- Weak fighters (no close combatants due to only fighting harpies for generations)
- Left wing policies
Warning:
It is best not to interact with them. They despise other races, mostly because they do have the belief the world belonged to them and the other races took it away unrightfully.
Don’t let their innocent appearance fool you!
Pretty hilarious. Reminds me of the beavers in the sci-fi novel "Heavens River" although only going by their appearance and temperament.
Damn beavers and their hippy communes
@solalle Horrible creatures. All they do is to clogg up the drain.
What is left wing and right wing?

Short version in the context of the USA -> Republicans right wing, democrats left ... although it depends on your country as well. Democrats would be centre and republicans very right wing where I live
Do early-21st century politics really exist unchanged after however many hundreds of years? This feels incredibly anachronistic and forced
Sorry, but I don´t get your comment.
@bloodyWriter The other LTB chapters feel like they're written by the character, this really doesn't.
@nullmana Oh, I see. Don’t take them too seriously.
