Introduction

The Dark Folks are a group of humanoid and semi-humanoids originating from or primarily seen on the dark continent of Herabalter, with their most well-known members being the Risar, Trolls, and Steintrolls. As all known Dark Folks are classified as Styganthropes, it is possible that this is their only zoological classification.

Members

The following is an incomplete list of the various Dark Folk family members.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Risar

The Risar demonstrate almost Human levels of intellect, visibly have troll-like features, and typically subscribe to a brutal and war-like hierarchical tribal culture valuing strength-as-power. The Risar have been invading Myrland by way of the land bridge that connects it to Herabalter for as long as anyone living can remember.

For more information on the Risar, please see their dedicated page.

Steintroll

Steintrolls are diminutive, seemingly unintelligent humanoids with troll-like features which stand at about half the height of an average Human. While sightings of Steintrolls were very common during the Age of Strife as the Risar commonly employed them as slaves, sightings of them on Myrland are unheard of after The Irruption.

Trolls

Trolls are massive humanoids of low intelligence but incredible strength, and have the remarkable tendency to adapt to their environment in relatively short order leading to their persistence in locales far from Herabalter. Variants such as Forest Trolls, Frost Trolls, and Jungle Trolls are not at all uncommon sights on Myrland.

Some scholars believe that Trolls share a common ancestor with Humans, albeit one which existed far into the annals of pre-history.
