SHORN

" Hearty laughter is all you might hear before the attack. But do not worry, your death will be quick and clean. They like their food intact, and well preserved before feast preparation. And your army will fed them well this night. " 

BACKGROUND
The race of BIG smiles, the manticore-like folk are warlike and the most well versed in the ways of battlecraft. Though under a tense truce with most other races, they tend to push their luck and stir up trouble when and where they dare. Their appetites match their fierceness in battle. They eat and drink big, and if nothing else, are well known for their great feasts and hearty cooking, infamous for bringing down a whole dragon and making a massive pit just to slow roast it, much to the chagrin of the Xedas. They are a superstitious bunch as well, heavily ingrained in their nordic-like religions and folklore. Their cubs most often befriend the Karstians, whom they get their armor and weapons from as adults. Most others, especially small others, tend to give the toothy Shorn plenty of space.
