TROGS

A brutish and malevolent race who originated on the continent across the Eastern Gap and frequently cause problems for the Diamond Isle, Lorn and many other nations in the East. Trog raiding parties are a constant threat, especially to The Nari who share the same continent. They are built very much like Neanderthals and possess those features, but with a mouth full of sharp teeth and claws, while some, though rare, will have a strange, almost shell-like skin (there are a few tribes who all share this mutation). Notoriously difficult to kill, their thick skin and curiously bloodless physiology makes them feared opponents. They are brutal combatants and cannibals who eat other sentient races as a means of intimidation and terror and engage in ritual, blood magic. They are known to hang the heads of their victims on their ships and wear the body parts of those they have killed.
