+ | The Arau Morndin are a sophisticated people that have been living in isolation deep in the Arau Ihar Mountain Range for centuries. These half-breeds of Orcs and a long lost race of peoples have shunned the barbaric, warlike ways of their orc heritage, dedicating years of study to the arts, crafting, architecture and the “contemplative life” of the Monk. Their capital city is rich in civic art, museums and small apartments where artisans live, work and show their goods. The city is built upon the ashes and ruins of the Old City, a dark & dangerous world hidden deep below the city accessible only by well-guarded tunnels outside the city wall. Few are allowed access below the city, fewer return. | ||

+ | The origin of the Arau Morndin remains shrouded in mystery. There is a Epic Tale told by local bards telling of a rebellion started deep below the surface by “Sa Showrskilik Brawnik Ban”, or “the Wise and Strong one”. These brave Arau Morndin broke free of the shackles that bound them to their slave masters, sacked their Masters’ City, and rose victorious to the surface to found the Arau Morndins’ capital city, Faern, deep in the Arau Ihar. Faern and the Arau Morndin are ruled to this day by the descendants of the by “Sa Showrskilik Brawnik Ban” and his/her council. | ||

The Monks provide what protection and policing they need for the Monastery, Faern, and in the outreaching settlements. All Arau Morndin are trained in the use of the quarterstaff for defense from an early age and they are proficient in its use by the time they reach maturity. Most individuals carry one by their side, usually working as a walking staff or a symbol of the individual’s status in society. | ||

+ | The Arau Morndin remained in isolation in the mountains for countless centuries until recently when they sought out the the Throck-Badd Trading Company. The Arau Morndin had seen the “outsiders” exploring the Arau Ihar mountains for new natural resources and made the decision to make contact with them. The Company negotiated a trade allegiance with the Council and established a settlement in the foothills of the mighty mountain range. The Throck-Badd have also been allowed to establish a camp outside Faern to prepare for the journey down to the settlement. The arrival of these Outsiders has not sat well with some members of the Arau Morndin society and pockets of rebellion have started to form inside and outside of the city. | ||
