Line 28:

Though their origin lies in yearning and descent, the Minthari do not reject this past. Instead, they embrace it—embedding it in their lore, ethics, and craftsmanship. To be Minthari is to understand the cost of wanting, and to accept that desire itself is neither curse nor blessing, but a path.

|Biology and Physical Traits=Millennia of subterranean life have profoundly altered the physiology of the Minthari. Though human in origin, they are no longer fully adapted to the surface world. Their biology reflects both environmental adaptation and the metaphysical imprint of their descent into darkness.

Millennia of subterranean life have profoundly altered the physiology of the Minthari. Though human in origin, they are no longer fully adapted to the surface world. Their biology reflects both environmental adaptation and the metaphysical imprint of their descent into darkness.

Blindness is universal among the Minthari. Their eyes have regressed into pale, milky remnants, sensitive only to pressure and ambient heat. In their place, the Minthari have developed an extraordinary capacity for echolocation. Using a combination of low-frequency throat clicks, footstep vibrations, and ambient echoes, they construct precise mental maps of their environment—far surpassing visual detail in texture, shape, and density.
