Ratfolk

Ratfolk, as referred to by most who speak common, are a group of humanoid rat-like creatures. Originating like most beastkin from the remnants of the Age of Fables. Ratfolk are notoriously prolific and spread out from their ancient homeland quickly. Many areas of Arawyn have some variant of Ratfolk all whom have their own unique cultures and practices.
Many Ratfolk come from large families or communities, often sharing hand-me-downs and other scavanged and reused goods to help facilitate their survival. Many live in cities though it is not uncommon to find them scurrying about in forests without too many predators.
A common subspecies of ratfolk are the Nezumi who originated in the Triumvirate Empires of the Khaijan Islands. However they have long since spread their influence from that land. They form Clans with other Nezumi and adopt Ratfolk who wish to join as they tend to survive by overwhelming their opponents with numbers and cunning tactics that make up for their weaknesses. Heads of these clans are often Mystics who warn of incoming omens, when they must travel and similar other guidance to the group at large.
