These creatures from the Dark Down-Below are vicious veterans of war, though this was not always so. Ages ago, before man had arrived they lived a simple nomadic existence near the Iriànvatta river, or so the legends say. Their shelters were constructed from whatever materials the nearby forest provided them, rudimentarily built cabins of leaves and trees. The sages say of these beings, that they were driven to find the end of the Iriànvatta, to the west they subsequently traveled where they encountered not the Great Beyond as they had expected but the Carothinian city of Roo-roth, a grand yet simple city built from timber gathered from the nearby forest.
