Beastmen













Native to the mountians of Northeast Soralia, the Naahaogo (Na'ah-aogo), known as beast-men by their human neighbors, dwell in the barrier mountains north at the headwaters of the river that flows through the wild woods separating the gnomes and humans. They are thought of as dangerous savages by the humans south of them, and have fought settlers and raiders from the human kingdoms. They live together in small multi-family units and are primarily nomadic gatherers.

Naahaogo dwell in the barrier mountains north at the headwaters of the river that flows through the wild woods separating the gnomes and humans. They are thought of as dangerous savages by the humans south of them, and have fought settlers and raiders from the human kingdoms. They are organized into small family units and are primarily nomadic gatherers. Their society tends to value freedom and a life in balance with nature, as do individual Naahaogo. They fight with longbows and spears, though their warriors favor many weapons such as greataxes, greatswords and longspears.

Play a Naahaogo if you want . . .
✦ to be tough, quick and wise.
✦ to play a character that is bestial in appearance.
✦ to be a member of a race that favors the barbarian, druid, ranger, and shaman classes.

Physical Qualities: They have the aspect of muscular men with the head and hind legs of a goat, with a thick pelt of fur across their entire bodies, giving them good resistance to cold weather.
