Native Peoples




At least two peoples are known to occupy the lands around the area of the True

Game.

SHADOWPEOPLE: Small, carnivorous (omnivorous when necessary) nocturnal people

delighting in music and song. They are extremely fond of festivals, dance

contests, song contests and the like and have been seen to assemble by hundreds

within sound of the annual contests at the Minchery in Learner. While

Shadowpeople eat bunwits of any size, it is notable that they do not attack
krylobos and are not attacked by pombis, gnarlibars, or warnets.




EESTIES: A people said by some to be aloof and withdrawn, by others to be

friendly and helpful. Seen most often as solitary individuals. Native language

unknown. Habits unknown. In appearance, star-shaped, moving as Armigers do or

rolling upon the extremities.
