The Yooden (or Stone Eaters)

The Yooden are an ancient, subterranean, forgotten race also known as the Stone Eaters due to their only sustainance being stone and rock. The Yooden, for centuries, were revered as the most powerful and humblest of all races in Aanar' Barl. Regularly fighting for the side of justice during past wars. There are many stories of the immense bravery and power held by the Yooden. So far as to call someone who has performed a very brave act someone who has acted like "a one armed Yooden". The tales of Yooden helping out usually tell of how a single Yooden warrior within a rank of soldiers could lay waste to an entire batallion of enemy soldiers without so much as breaking a sweat. The sudden disappearance of the entire race still remains a mystery. It is rumoured that the rare but famously angery Mole Troglodons that once protected the races homelands turned on them and slaughtered all members of the underground city. Others believe that a hereditary disease sadly destroyed the once great race and eradicated them from the history books. Barely anyone, whilst the race still existed, gained access to the subterranean dwelling of the Yooden and as a result there is very little known about their customs, their philosophy and even their training methods.
