Beastmen

Beastmen are widely considered the most dangerous and vile creatures to roam the land.

They come in many varieties, but all maintain the same aspect of being bipedal beasts similar to most wild animals.

It is thought that the beastmen originate from the magics of an ancient cult of sorcerers once living in the tower beside the Ashen Mount. Conducting vile experiments on beasts to create a slave race and sacrificing them to their dark god.
 * History

Sorcerers eventually grew complacent with their works and the beastmen joined together and overthrew their masters, forming their own systems of ruling, with clans forming based off of the genetics of similar beasts and leaving the island to expand on other lands. But this is all hearsay, spoken mainly by mages and scholars, as the true history has been lost to time and as no one has been able to enter the tower and return to prove otherwise. Most beastmen are usually no smarter than wild animals, though they can be as smart as a kobold quite often, and some of the less aggressive clans can be even smarter.
 * Intelligence

Most do not know how to work metals, and instead must kill and take weapons and armor from fallen foes, though a select few clans have managed to produce crude bronze weapons in small numbers.

They are capable of simple magics in the form of shamanism, offering sacrifices to manipulate the elements. Being mostly separated into clans, some known are:

 * 1) Goretusk - The largest clan, they more often than not raid Yantar from their capital in the Ashen Mount.
 * 2) Thunderhoof - A majority of beastman shamans reside in this clan, being much smaller than the rest of their kin, but making up for it with the might of their magics.
 * 3) Swamphide - Living in the southeastern swamps, they forage and kill anyone foolish enough to get lost in the swamps.
 * 4) Maimpaw - Close in appearance to bears, they are one of the least aggressive, mostly staying within forests and can be seen at times befriending humans.
 * 5) Plainstomper - Reminiscent of goats, they travel in hordes, consuming Screenshot 48-1.pngthing in their path, they live in the Scarred Land.
 * 6) Lizardfolk - Similar to crocodiles, these beasts have created their own city on an island known as Zangalor and are by far one of the most advanced of their kind.
 * 7) Frostfang - Maintaining a more diverse number of subspecies, they range from the appearance of a lynx to a tiger, all white, and adapted to the snow as they hunt in the mountains of the north, and are generally neutral toward other races.Screenshot 57-1.png
