=== Dandrit ===

	Dandriti are a fairly numerous hybrid race, descended from Crudag and Sireed stock. They are fully capable of reproducing and have their own particular physiological characteristics as well as similarities with their purebred progenitors. 

	Dandrit descent is virtually indistinguishable from Crudag stock based on appearance alone. The main differences are that they tend to be shorter and usually have slightly larger and rounder heads, owing to the Sireed half of their genes. They also appear in a variety of facial structures and skin tones, although most Dandriti come from northern and central Provendo, and are predominantly darker skinned. Curiously, most Dandriti are unable to grow their head hair beyond 2-3” in bulk, and so they will be most distinguishable in societies where long hair is common. They have nearly identical internal organs to Crudag, although they lack a functioning filter-membrane on their lungs and generally have less efficient kidneys and liver, making them more vulnerable to toxins than the Crudag. Likewise, they lack the fine control of their facial muscles for ear movement that the Crudag have. Dandriti do, however, share both parent races’ enhanced immune system. Although fully capable of processing complex and abstract thoughts, they lack the intuitive mathematical ability of the Sireed as well as the celerity of their neural pathways. One Sireed trait that did pass on well was their superior sleep cycle; as a result, Dandriti need about 15% less sleep than Crudag and their dreams are more vivid and fecund.

	While Dandriti exist wherever populations of Crudag and Sireed have procreated with one another, very large concentrations exist in only a few places: northern Provendo, historical home of the old ‘Dandrit Empire’; Lostram; and Keom. Dandrit civilizations also tend toward large populations and political, economic, and technical complexity. In many societies, Dandriti are considered more gregarious and prone to risk taking than average, although how true this is for the race as a whole remains to be seen.
