In the shade of the profane grove, far from the eyes of Man, the wicked ones dwell. A savage and primitive people, the Ghylherd are defined by their envy of the civilised folk of Ring 99. Warped and twisted by a bestial curse, the Ghylherd are the most sinister of all the Mongrelfolk; driven only by an overwhelming hatred for all things orderly and beautiful, the Ghylherd long for the desolation and ruin of civilisation. These beasts bear a particular grudge against the humans of the Peerage Ward, and have long been a savage menace for the pioneers of House Glitt in distant Ring 94 - though the Ghylherd does not discriminate in the conveyance of its bestial rage...


Hello you lucky pups, it's time for yet another prelude!

This group, if you couldn't tell from the little blurb, is very much going to be a villainous faction. You will need to be prepared for a high amount of PvP, a rather short character shelf-life, and a generally very challenging experience (though with a great opportunity to prove your skills as a classy roleplayer!)

Players will be portraying a unique new subrace with the following characteristics:

GHYL
Base race: Human
Stat changes: +2 STR, +2 CON, -2 INT, -2 CHA
Saving throws: +1 Fortitude
Racial type: Monstrous Humanoid
Misc bonus: +10% movement speed, Quick to Master (from Human base), +1 feat (from Human base)
Alignment: Chaotic Evil, Neutral Evil only
ECL: +1


Please bear in mind that membership in this prelude is quite limited, and there is unlikely to be a large number of players in it. Also bear in mind that even if your application is declined, it may not necessarily be by any fault of your own - its important that this group have similar timezones and an ability to play together reasonably often, due to their one-against-all dynamic.

This prelude is currently scheduled to start on the following weekend, though this may be subject to change and you will be appraised as such if a successful applicant. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out on discord - though certain aspects of the prelude are intentionally vague.

Happy bleating!
