Thanks! I really enjoy writing about Terramort rats and their way of life. Haha, that's true, I imagine most of Rolt members worked out a decent amount of muscles from working with iron tools, especially stone-workers and fishers.

That's actually very good questions! Rats of Lower Terramort mainly rely on bioluminescence, as torches would cause too much smoke. Instead, there is a type of glowing moss that they specifically plant on the walls of their tunnels and caves. I think the rats would be more sensitive to light as a result of seasons spent underground, but not critically so. Hmm, the lack of proper vitamins would indeed be a problem, but their healers are intelligent enough to draw connection between the change of their lifestyle and the arising health problems. They would need to keep a stricter diet, possibly with the increased amount of fish liver oils to compensate for the lack of sun exposure, but overall they manage to get a proper amount of nutrients.
