Alright, so this is going to be the Dwenoren of The Known World. Dwenoren are the most populous race on Hekinoe and the most ancient of the native races. You don't see them too often in The Known World because they live underground in massive kingdoms of stone and dirt and don't have much need to venture into the daylight world. Interestingly, at one time I had decided that they were a kind of flightless bat humanoid, but then I settled on them being some sort of sexless grub humanoid.

Suggestions
Advantages: Acute Senses (increases levels), Damage Resistance (increase levels), Temperature Tolerance (increase levels).
Skills: Dwenoren society is a society ruled by the merchant class and dwen of learning, so their society places a lot of emphasis on the economy and money making while also holding science and technology in high regard. They also still have a few warrior traditions from earlier eras of their race, though those are regarded as somewhat silly by other Dwenoren. Skills dealing with theses aspects would be appropriate for a Dwenoren of Whurent to possess.
