Added 2020-01-19 15:00:04 +0000 UTC

Another byproduct of the Hand of the Third and the Obsidian Conflict, Mondans are hairless, muscular humanoids that share a passing resemblance to orcs. Their mouths are wrapped in perpetual screams; still, they have their own language, Mondanian, which consists of throat sounds, gasps and tongue clucks.

Mondans form loose tribes throughout the Obsidian Plain. Often, they are lead by the strongest of their kind, dubbed fireeaters by non-Mondanians. Before battle, fireeaters coat themselves in flammable grease, then set themselves ablaze. The fire coupled with their innate ability to regenerate from fire makes them incredibly difficult to defeat.

Oddly, Mondans practice religion. Although they were created by the Striped Conjurers, Mondans put their faith in Yrena, the goddess of destruction. Throughout the Obsidian Plain, travelers may come across twenty-foot tall obsidian pillars arranged in circles of eight. At the center are the charred remains of the unfortunate sacrificial victims to Yrena. Occasionally, a Knaomeran Drake emerges may emerge from these unholy areas.
