Thrain (Men)

The Thrain are ninja-like mercs that roam the plains and Flawkren Wood. Terrifyingly, the residents of the Wood carry a blade designed for slashing arteries. Magik consumes the caster's blood, so the Thrain make a tody profit selling Forest Elves's blood to indiscriminate mages. Plains Thrain harrass the Zklar, raiding their caravans and then reselling the goods. Thrain have no goverment, living in clans operated by whoever can kill all challengers and drink their blood.
