  • Leomen Diplomat Group, Organized, Intelligent, Hoarder
    Claws (b[2d8+4] damage 2 piercing) 10 HP 4 armor
    Close, Forceful

    The Leomen were once a world power. Capable in both magic and martial arts they are quicker, stronger and smarter than the general human populace. They lack luck and a healthy love of water. Their pride made the God of water very angry and in his anger he took their women. It took years for the female children to come of age. By the time they recovered their populace the damage had been done. Traditions of fear and hate were produced. The Loemen no longer care to take the world for fear of the water God. Though some wonder weather a God might be overthrown. Instinct: to uphold tradition at all costs.

    "That pass there? No, don't go that way. Better to take the month long journey around the south, into the marshes with the insects the size of your head, through the forest of death and then over the lake of blood." The giant of the pass is a giant of giants. Some say he was the love child of a giant and a Titan. All the same, he's taken a liking to this pass since before men where in these parts. For reasons of his own choosing, some get to pass and some don't. Those that get to pass are perplexed by their own choosing, those that don't have it easy.
