Zolansahr - Half-Gnoll
Half-gnolls, like half-goblins, are the offspring of gnolls and captured human prisoners. In their savage tribal life, there is little
chance that the youngster will survive - though it does happen from time co time. Gnolls are rarely, if ever, raised by their
human parent.
Half-gnolls are known as "vraaark" in Gnoll, "drelsibar" in Brandobian, "govalij" in Dejy (Elos), "jhekkarr" in Fhokki, "kinimal" in Kalamaran, "raarornaer" in Reanaarian, and "zolansahr" in Svimohzish.
Personality
Half-gnolls are ambitious, brutal, chaotic, and untrusrwortby, traits often common to both of their parents. Vraaark prefer solitude ro the tribal life of gnolls or the human communiry, and speaklirde. They prefer to let their actions speak for them.Physical Description
Half-gnolls srand abour 6 to 7 feet tall and commonly weigh from 180 to 220 pounds. Their skin is dark, with a brown or black mane-Uke head of hair. Their bodies are often quite hairy or covered with a thin coat of fur. They also have wide, pointed ears on each side of their menacing face. Half-gnolls are considered adults at age 10 and can live to be up to 70 years old. Vraaark are almost always male, and all vraaark are sterile.Relations
Vraaark raised by a gnoll tribe will beare as savage and bloodthirsry as any gnoll. The usual temporary alliances they make are with bugbears, hobgoblins, ogres, ores, and trolls, and are inevitably temporary. If raised by their human parent, vraaark will dislike most other humanoids. Regardless of parentage, half-gnolls are most often found allying themselves with half-hobgoblins, half-ogres, half-orcs, and half-trolls.Half-Gnoll Lands
As a race, half-gnolls do nor possess any lands. They are most likely found with the gnoll tribes of the Alufalik-P'Sapas Hills and the Elos Desert. In larger cities, vraaark are typically encountered in Shrogga-pravaaz and Vrendolen . However, as gnolls can be found in many areas of Tellene, they are not limited to these locations.Religion
Vraaark tend to worship the chaotic evil deities of Tellene, particularly the Confuser of Ways and the Prince of Terror. More neutral vraaak worship the Battle Rager, Storm Lord, Emperor of Scorn and the Seller of Souls.Language
Like most half-breeds, vraaark generally speak the language of the parent raising them. Those who become wanderers o&en pick up other languages as well.Adventurers
Because of their tribal and animalistic naruce, and their need for solitude, vraaark who become adventurers typically become rangers. Other common advenrurer types are barbarians, fighters, brigands, and gladiators. Other classes are uncommon, and wizards and sorcerers are extremely rare. A half-gnoll never becomes a paladin or Basimn dancer.Svimohz only.
