NEMRANT

Nemrants are vicious monstrosities with gorilla-like figures that live in the depths of the Deepshade. Their leathery skin ranges in shades of dark greens and grey, and coarse, black fur covers the lower half of their bodies. Nemrants are more cunning than their brutish appearance suggests, a necessity to survive in their nomad warrior caste societies.

Nemrants are fanatical worshipers of Kurgath, an archfiend of the Abyss who enslaved their kind as shock warriors in his demonic horde. The archfiend formed tribes that believe that only the strong deserve to live, respecting strength in combat above all. Because of this warlike philosophy, nemrant tribes are kept small and packed with powerful warriors. They are purists who look down on any who use unnatural weapons.

Cults of Kurgath. The worship of the archfiend Kurgath often pits nemrants against the priestesses of the spider goddess of their hated rivals, the drow.

Savage Raiders. As a strict warrior society, nemrants survive by constantly raiding for food and supplies. Their war parties regularly strike aboveground settlements before returning to a temporary fortified position. It is rare for anyone to survive one of these raids.
