They look a lot like halflings,just a little bit tanned from their time under the sun. They have a pair of small wood horns growing on the top of their heads as a proof of their connection with some weird magic. Their origins are obscure but some legends say that the first Borutav was the son of a god and a halfling, another legend says that they became like that because of a curse from an evil fey.

Relations[edit]

Some communities believe that the Borutavs were made by evil savage gods of dark forests; some others communities think that the Borutavs are mythical beings that know about treasures maps, or ancient temples. Because of that Borutavs "disguise" themselves as halflings, wearing caps that hide their horns.
