Races - Veloci

Since it was my birthday yesterday, I'm going to post two races today. As a birthday present.

The veloci are one of two races inhabiting the escarpment on the eastern side of the continent, and have fought diligently to ensure it stays that way. Veloci are fiercely isolationist, spurning their nearest neighbours such as the podida, gnolls and arachs. Hnoca support of their ideals on a continental level has lead the two races to forge a wary alliance, though the veloci are content to let the hnoca wage their own war against the manfolk-antherans.
The recent attempt of the gnolls to capture a slice of veloci territory lead the veloci to rally their people together in an all-out assault on the gnolls, ultimately uprooting them and driving them westwards into the Grasslands. The veloci, however, did not see the full extent of their actions, and ensuing gnoll attacks on the tiloca lead the tiloca’s allies, the nearby podida, to sack the veloci capital in retribution.
The veloci themselves have now been pushed back almost as far as traditional gnoll territory, and the conflict with the podida is continuing to escalate. The veloci are a strong reptilian race with sharp claws and fast legs, making them perfectly suited for more combative endeavours.
