Kyn

The Kyn, often referred to as “Goblinoids” by other races for some unknown reason, were once one of the great races of the world. Their great empire of Rouran existed for over a thousand years before eventually being destroyed by the Invaders.

Culture

A Kyn tribe or ‘Pack’ as they prefer to call them are usually lead both militarily and spiritually by a Hakkyn, being seemingly their ideal mix of brains and brawn. Their chieftain is usually given the term “Alpha” or “Khan”, while their spiritual leader is typically a Windseer (Priest) of Gauros.
The Kyn claim Guaros as their creator, and are thus a nomadic raider people. While curved swords hold a deep significance to their culture (and are some of the finest crafted weapons in the world), their primary weapons of war are spears and bows, usually wielded while riding atop of a giant wolf. When asked why their race has such diversity, they claim Gauros crafted them in the necessary roles of war.
Kyn are perhaps the most xenophobic species, preferring to live among their own kind. When they settle, it is typically in defensible positions in mountains. Some more radical groups live in the old ruins of Dwarven strongholds, such as the Pack of Thrakul Kulakas.
