About this ancestry

Gardemus are diminutive, mouse-like humanoids that walk upright but can scamper on all fours for a boost of speed. They have acute senses of hearing, and can use their tails to grip or hang from objects. Adult Gardemus are typically 1-2 feet tall and are extremely light-weight, able to survive falls that would seriously injure other Ancestries.
Gardemus are simple folk with strong morals, valuing hard work and bravery which makes them natural adventurers despite their size.
