Small, manlike subterranean creatures. Called Bukken in Rimmerspakk and boghanik in Qanuc. They come up through the earth to attack people, mainly lone travellers (although in the time of the Storm King, they prey upon almost anyone). They have piercing, unpleasant cries and are almost impossible to fight without weapons (or a wolf, such as Qantaqa)

| - Small, manlike subterranean creatures. Called Bukken in Rimmerspakk and boghanik in Qanuc. They come up through the earth to attack people, mainly lone travellers (although in the time of the Storm King, they prey upon almost anyone). They have piercing, unpleasant cries and are almost impossible to fight without weapons (or a wolf, such as Qantaqa)
- Their original name came from their belief in economic equality based upon a specific passage in the Book of Acts. The Diggers attempted to reform (by "levelling" real property) the existing social order with an agrarian lifestyle based upon their ideas for the creation of small egalitarian rural communities. They were one of a number of nonconformist dissenting groups that emerged around this time.
- Ugly, Naked, Disgusting, Shrill, Creepy, Weak, Stupid. Seductive, Shrouded, Elegant, Refined, Ancient, Wise. Brutish, Unrelenting, Fearless, Undying, Monstrous, Indomitable. All of these words are spoken of the ones known as diggers, and all of them could be considered true. For the Diggers present many faces, and to those that meet them there are many impressions. There are children's tales of short, wizened creatures with clever claws that toil in dark dirty hills. But in many ways the real 'truth' of the Diggers is more horrific then any fictions and tall tales spoken of them.

| - Ugly, Naked, Disgusting, Shrill, Creepy, Weak, Stupid. Seductive, Shrouded, Elegant, Refined, Ancient, Wise. Brutish, Unrelenting, Fearless, Undying, Monstrous, Indomitable. All of these words are spoken of the ones known as diggers, and all of them could be considered true. For the Diggers present many faces, and to those that meet them there are many impressions. There are children's tales of short, wizened creatures with clever claws that toil in dark dirty hills. There are stories of the carnival caravan troupes with bulky trollish thugs as beasts of burden. Diminutive little tinkerers and fair bodied masked maidens in sheer silken robes. There are whispered rumors of endless tides of monsters crawling up from the deeps. Things which do not fall even under the most grievous wounds, and cities left burned, buried and lost. Their citizens entombed alive to slowly die in the dark. Suffering in the dark, but not alone. But in many ways the real 'truth' of the Diggers is more horrific then any fictions and tall tales spoken of them.
