| - According to legend, the lacuni are magical outcasts from Askari society. Legends tell of an Amazon who lived long ago, and was skilled with the use of the javelin. Seeking power and fame, she made a bargain with a Lesser Evil. In exchange for her service, she was transformed into a sleak, catlike form, with the promise that her legacy would never die. If any truth to the legend exists, then this legacy endures with the lacuni to this day. Of what is known as fact, lacuni were originally found only in the jungle environments of Kehjistan, trading freely with the cities there. But by the time of human civilization, the lacuni had spread north to the desert wastes surrounding Caldeum and at some point, also into Aranoch. Although always considered somewhat aloof and untrustworthy, the lacuni never before behaved in a threatening manner toward human society. Such was the status quo until around the time of the Darkening of Tristram, when lacuni marauders began roaming Aranoch. Many blamed the disappearance of whole caravans upon them. By 1285, a variant breed of lacuni called "snow lacuni" could be found in the Dreadlands.
