A Chedarian is a construct of cheese given sentience. Their construction resembles that of a humanoid without any gender features. On top of every Chedarian's head is a cheese wheel that is the same type of cheese that particular Chedarian consist of and can be shaped. Chedarins have various sizes and forms. Based on their type of cheese, a Chedarian's physical features can consist of but not limited to: holes, various colors based on cheese type, having a wide or tall figure, mold, etc. The rinds of Chedarians are very durable making it hard to damage or penetrate.
History[edit]
Chedarians are a very rare race of cheese people that were created from the mutations of an unknown incident. Most speculate their creation was caused accidentally by an “animate object” spell. From whomever casted it remains a mystery. This incident created a tree filled with cocoons that births Chedarians at random intervals.
The first recorded Chedarian is named Lord Cheese, believed to be the first Chedarian. Throughout the history of his sightings, it seemed he spent most of his time alone. Over the course of several centuries, he would reappear near civilizations every now and then appearing stronger and more dangerous. He is often regarded as a being that is unpredictable and should be avoided. He would raid villages and cities at random with no goal in mind, but survivors of those attacks argued that he had a look as if he was trying to find something. Eventually, Lord Cheese disappeared. Adventurers began to venture out to find the cocoon tree that gave birth to Lord Cheese and found themselves at a kingdom filled with Chedarians. It is unknown when this kingdom was constructed. The kingdom, Chedaria is considered off limits to the rest of the world as Chedarians usually only live there but that is not always the case. Those few that are seen outside of Chedaria are considered dangerous and should be either killed or avoided.
Society[edit]
Chedaria is studied from a far distance, those who venture too close are swiftly killed by Lord Cheese. There seems to be no other force protecting the kingdom. Chedarians are seen to be carefree beings who live their daily life in Chedaria mostly doing whatever. Some pick up various hobbies. Those who venture out of Chedaria come back with resources to usually trade with other Chedarians. Note that they do not have a sense of value for the objects they bring. Objects they usually find are common resources (sticks/logs, stones, gold, lost clothing/weapons, etc), and occasionally bring in wild life that they keep as pets sometimes. Most Chedarians seem to lack intellect but there are some notable few that stand out.
