Gnolls (Lords of the Hunt)

Gnolls (Lords of the Hunt)
    Gnolls have inhabited the Northern Kerlo Plains for centuries. Created by the Hethen God Kirathos during the Time of Awakening. They are considered to be demonic entities placed in the world to cause destruction and violence towards civilized races and are seen by most Knightly Orders to be a test to overcome. Gnolls for the most part never leave the comfort zone of the plains, but occasionally leave to raid nearby villages and towns. Usually Evil in alignment they may also be neutral, because they do not tend to care about the state of the world or its problems.

    Often at war with both Westerfolk and Easterfolk, the Gnolls numbers are declining due to the fact that they are fighting a two front war. In recent years the Gnolls have become more settled while they try to recuperate their numbers. Gnolls are usually part of the Grand Pack, which is an alliance of most of the Gnoll Packs living within the plains. Pack Leaders usually fight for dominance every few months. As the seasons change so do the Pack leaders.

Pack Gorefang continually produces dominant and competent leaders, but are ousted every few seasons. The Gnolls bare a hatred towards man that is often shared. It is said that a few packs have begun to move north, but these are only rumors and aside from a few incidents are mostly thought of as untrue. Gnolls prefer to be light on their feet and will stray away from heavy arms and armor.

Gnolls from Pack Gorefang receive a +1 bonus to intimidate checks.
