Jackal-men, Wolf-men, Doggies... There are many names applied to these canine humanoids who make their home in Qeynos Hills and the Planes of Karana. They are very much hated and have few, if any allies. They were created by Brell, no doubt to see that his influence reached all across the lands. However they didn't remain friends with the Goblins, Dwarves and Gnomes because of their distance from the others. A mistake that they will eternally regret. When the humans came down from Halas to seperate themselves from their Barbarian cousins they made their home in Qeynos. However this city was discovered too late to be very close to Black Burrow, the home of the Gnolls. Neither race was going to move and somehow they couldn't arrange any kind of peace or trade. Originally the Gnolls welcomed the barbarians and humans with open arms and they could have lived in peace, however a barbarian cut off the paw of one of their high shamans, Opolla. This turned into an all out war that has been going on until this day. The Gnolls appear to have no hope of winning, their home is under constant attack and they can't so much as get a warrior into the gates of Qeynos. They've sent a pack into the Planes of Karana in hopes of finding a new place to establish home. These Gnolls call themselves clan Split Paw and have found a temporary home, but it isn't large enough yet to move all the Gnolls from Black Burrow into. To survive this age the Gnolls will have to get some powerful heroes, make some allies or somehow have the humans driven from their lands by some outside force. Bertoxxulus- The Plaguebringer has lead some of the desperate Gnolls away from their father, Brell Serilis, and created a group known as the Gnoll Reavers.
