Peaceable Hermits
Since establishing their mountain strongholds centuries ago, the Stön Trillium has remained neutral through each and every conflict in Destrea's history, save one: the devastating Dwarven Civil War of 1178 DC, which saw the highest number of casualties, in the shortest time frame, of any war in recorded history.
Deepsoil Crop Co-op
With limited access to sunlight, Trillians have had to make-do with what nourishment could be grown in sufficient quantities underground. This need led to the development of intricate irrigation techniques, used to maximize crop yields from boonmoss, a highly nutritious plant native to the region. The moss farmers of the Stön Trillium are currently organized under a single co-operative entity, known as Deepsoil Crop.
