Thanoi
Walrus-Men
Thanoi stand well over 6 feet and up to 8 feet tall, but
almost always walk with a hunched back and bent
knees a posture that looks impractical but helps them
negotiate the often-treacherous terrain of their
homeland. The females are noticeably smaller than the
males, rarely reaching much beyond 6 feet in height. The
tusks of both genders can reach 2 feet in length, backed
by rows of blunt teeth strong enough to crush bone and
shell. Thanoi possess clawed feet that look quite fierce.
In actuality are used merely for traction; their large,
clawed hands are too clumsy to handle any but the
largest and simplest weapons.
The walrus-folk possess a thick, blubbery hide well
suited for their environment. They have little use for
clothing or any decoration of an impractical nature.
Some thanoi wear belts to carry tools or weapons, but
little else.
Thanoi Names
Thanoi are fond of strong guttural names or simpler and
descriptive names, borrowing from the ancient

descend.

Thanoi Kagogs
The thanoi are not a deeply religious folk. Their spellcasters
are all female, and known as kagogs (loosely translated as
kind,
usually of Chislev in one of her darker aspects or Sargonnas.
Kagogs may also be mystics, sorcerers, or even druids. The
kinds of magic, as
their superstitions and fear of the unknown cause them to
consider all of it the purview of the kagogs.
