'Ygirothians

The men of 'Ygiroth were a primitive, degenerate race. Possibly dream projections of Neanderthal men, these men did not even know how to use fire or to make spears until taught by their god, the Thing in the Yellow Mask. In return for these boons they built the stone city of 'Ygiroth to venerate this being. They practiced human sacrifice in their rites until the armies of the Skai River Valley came to annihilate them. The 'Ygirothians tried to summon their god to aid them, but instead summoned something which drove them forth onto the spears of their attackers. All the members of this race are now thought to be dead, but some may have survived.

"Those sturdy tribesmen had instinctively disliked the men of 'Ygiroth, finding them a little too short, a little too hairy and a little to silent as they crept through the forests."

— W.C. DeBill, Jr., "In 'Ygiroth
