Pinion (human)
The people of the Pinion Dominion have been combating the Decrept for over a thousand years, and as much as they hate the undead they have adapted to face them. Many Pinions are battle hardened and have become numb to the presence of the undead, failing to see how screams in the night every night is not normal. It has become such a routine part of life that some family lineages have changed and gained new traits specific to Pinion humans.
