The Madulf

Where there is light, there must be shadow

Most Madulf make their homes in the large cities of the world, content to lurk in the shadows of the slums of the impoverished or behind the throne of the local royalty. Anywhere there is an advantage to be leveraged, you will find a Madulf working it to their benefit.

Born amongst the shadows

The body of a Madulf is physically different from their human brethren. The easiest way to know if there is a Madulf in your midst is to look for their trademark grey tinted skin or for wisps of shadow in the vicinity. When a Madulf uses their inherent powers, they will emit wispy shadows from their bodies. The skin of a Madulf is always a sickly grey as if tainted by the shadows they hold so dear.

The shadows of fate loom over all

Although reports are rare, the Madulf have been seen changing the fates of those around them. Some people say they caused an arrow to narrowly miss its target or an unskilled blade to pierce the armor of a knight. Many attribute it to some sort of magical illusions, but in reality, these changes in fate are the fortunes stolen from the dead and dying. A Madulf can take the fortune or misfortune from a dead being and weave it into the threads of fate that control another. The Madulf are highly secretive about where these changes in fate come from and will only reveal the secret to their most trusted of allies.

Their second name, shared only with family and close friends, is bestowed upon a Madulf at birth by their mother and holds great meaning to them. The names themselves vary wildly and are usually influenced by surrounding races.

The Ranton

Children of the desert

The Ranton are a savage race known for their ferocity in combat and ability to survive in the harsh deserts that they have called home for time immemorial. Nomadic in nature, the Ranton rarely settle in a location for more than a week before moving on.

Wayfaring Warriors

The Ranton thrive as a society centered around combat. The status of a Ranton is measured purely upon their martial ability. Academics, crafts and literature are seen as useless novelties by the Ranton and as such are rarely studied. The only exception to this is smithing. A skilled smith is treated with the same respect as a warrior of equal skill. The Ranton also know no trade, taking what they need in lightning fast raids against any settlements they find in their nomadic wanderings. Because of this, it is rare to see a Ranton in any form of acceptable society unless they are a captured slave.

Names

A Gauld is born with a "primary" name given to them by their parents. This name is usually an amalgam of the parents primary crafts.

The three-headed sand tribes

The Drak'shahar exist in tribes in the northern deserts, each tribe being led by three different Heads. These Heads each oversee a portion of the tribes' functions, the first Head is in charge of the tribes' hunter and warriors, insuring the young are trained properly, that weapons and armor are in good condition, and that the large sand lizards the tribe uses as mounts are kept healthy. The second Head is in charge of magic, medicine, and research, ensuring that the wounded are treated, mages and healers are trained, and that new methods of magic and medicine are tested and refined. Both the first and second Head are chosen based solely on their competence, and as such often change as prodigies are born or die. The third and final Head is always the eldest of the clan and oversees the politics, trade, and the general welfare of the clan.
