Thëggs (race)

The Thëggs are a nomadic people from the Eastern-Lands (also known as the Plague-Lands) which are one of the few people of the current Khalaani country to have resisted mass-conversion to Nubeism during the era of Bahn the Great, thus conserving their ancestral polytheist cult: the Varya.

The Thëggs have the reputation of being fearsome raiders pillaging medium-sized villages and practicing obscure rituals while at war. While both the Khalaani  and the Astraari folks of the Riverland view the Thëggs as an ancestral scourge that ought to be exterminated for the greater good of civilizations, some have expressed their admiration and respect for these martial people with a strong sense of honor and resistance against the oppression of the monotheistic faiths.

In recent times, the Thëggs have been through a constant decrease in population due to the famines, outbreaks of epidemy and military conflicts that have plagued the Khalaani country since the fall of Lineroth, and more recently, the Pale War.

The Thëggs are a part of the Thëggo-Saregg ehtnicity, which is thought to be the original ethnic group populating the Eastern-Lands.
