>*“The Morgaal were forged in the embers of chaos and war, they feel the urge to dominance in their very bones. The weak and the slow are left behind, only the strongest and most cunning Morgaal survive.”*! Monstrous, bestial humanois, Morgaal live in the nightmares of every child. They stand 8ft tall with curved horns, razor-like claws on hand and foot, and a mouth of sharp teeth. Their bodies are covered in thick fur with a wide range of colors and patterns. Often described as having a face resembling something between man and bear, their humanoid appearance falls away as they lope into battle on all fours. Faster, stronger, tougher, and more violent than any man, facing one alone is a death sentence. The Morgaal are one of the biggest threats to the civilized lands of the continent. Since the beginning of the current recorded history, Morgaal have been at war with the other races. Currently, the main hordes of Morgaal make their homes in the southern [[Ebonwall Range]], the rocky cliffs of [[Kashvik Bay]], and the ruins of [[The Wastehills]]. The invasion of Morgaal into civilized lands is rather complex territory – to understand the hostility between Morgaal and other races, it’s necessary to look at the first arrival of mankind to the continent. When [[The Breach]] brought humans to the continent, it threw them into a land already inhabited by intelligent races – the Morgaal being one of them. As the infestation of humanity spread, they pushed the Morgaal into smaller and smaller territories until few to none were left east of the [[Ebonwall Range]]. That’s not to say peace was had after human expansion, clashes between Morgaal and the now allied humans, elves, dwarves, and other humanoid races still occurred regularly as the Morgaal attempted to take back their territories, but the major threat of being overrun by the bestial race was quelled. Hundreds of years passed of small skirmishes without any real threat to civilized lands, until the nations east of the [[Ebonwall Range]] started expanding west into the [[Argent Wildlands]] around 1500 [[AE]]. This incursion into Morgaal territory reignited the flame of aggression – slowing westward expansion to a crawl. Until the completion of the Great Southern Bulwark around 1650 [[AE]]. The wall essentially corralled the Morgaal to the rocky cliffs of [[Kashvik Bay]] in the south of the [[Argent Wildlands]], where their numbers swelled unnoticed until they broke through the [[Ebonwall Range]] in 1808 [[AE]] devastating southwestern [[Tyrille]]. The only way their advance through the countryside was cut off, was through the rise of the [[Order of the Goldscales]], who deposed the current monarch and established a martial government to fight back the hordes. It is thought that the catalyst for this war, labeled the [[War of Grey Skies]], was the unification of the disparate Morgaal tribes under a new shaman caste. Though the war is considered over, many Morgaal remain in territories once held by [[Tyrille]], mostly in [[The Wastehills]], and larger numbers threaten the non-unified peoples of the [[Argent Wildlands]] and [[The Veil Coast]]. The [[Great Southern Bulwark]] has protected the [[Argent Wildlands]] for almost 100 years, but rumor is spreading of the massive Morgaal hordes that remain in the south.
