Romos

A tribe of Banyari often unveiling themselves during the wet season on the Malachite Plains because they appear dry and rock-like during the dry season. As the seasonal rains metamorphose the lands around them, so too are a tiny number of the malachite rocks revealed to be anything but. As most of the rocks begin to shimmer and glow in the Overlight, a select few of them instead soften, revealing them to be no rock, but a succulent-like plant growing almost shell-like from the backs and heads of Banyari that unfurl themselves from a dormant slumber beneath the earth. During the wet season, the Romos can be found meticulously wading through the swamps, using short reed spears to hunt the small crustaceans that share a similar life cycle.
