Races - Gnolls

The gnolls are a relatively primitive people who once resided in the hills to the southeast of the Grasslands, before increasing passive arach activity began to infringe on their lands. Unwilling to risk the wrath of the mercantile arach’s many powerful allies, the gnolls instead attempted to retrieve a small portion of veloci land by stealth.
The attempt failed, however, and the veloci swiftly wrought their vengeance by displacing the gnolls from their homeland, pushing them back until they were well within the antheran-tiloca Grasslands. Unable to seek aid from their molluscan allies, who had been cut off by the manfolk merchant fleet in an attempt to bolster the naga against them, the gnolls sought refuge with the Grasslands races.
Antheran-tiloca recognition of their plight was minimal, and unwilling to make the same mistake as they had with the veloci, the gnolls avoided the antherans and began to shift towards the tiloca, eventually beginning to prey on them as their own food rations wore out. The tiloca fled their homes and began to migrate southwards, complicating the border dispute between the hnoca and naga.
The antherans, however, acted on overexaggerated tiloca reports of fatalities and used them as an excuse to refuse asylum to gnoll refugees and actively take up arms against the gnoll people. Strongly reminiscent of hyenas, gnolls rely more on cunning and guile than brute strength to get by.
