This series is all about the races of gnolls from the setting of my story "Gnoll's Bane"

DEMONIC DAMNATION; FOOL'S BARGAIN:
-As the noble races gained dominance through arcane enlightenment the races of gnolls and other savage humanoids faced extinction. wanting to compete or at the very least survive in a changing world that pushed out tribal existence in favour of what the noble races refereed to as "civilization", the savage races desperately turned to demons for power selling their souls for the slightest advantage. But advantages are a fleeting thing and the gnolls quickly squandered theirs, thus reduced to selling more and more of their very being many gnolls bare grievous demonic mutations to fill in the gaps of what they've lost The gnolls depicted here are examples of gnolls who've escaped from the worst of physical distortions.

A)FLIND GNOLLS;DYING BREED:
In times long past Flinds would assault cities and civilized areas in massive hordes numbering in the thousands, they battled with a deadly cunning and brutal strength. however as the noble races developed their arcane arts the Flinds felt the brunt of destruction, where other gnolls had been more then content to beg, plead and flee for their lives. Flinds were always too filled with battle frenzy and lust for combat to give up the fight. the noble races were given no choice but to slay them all. Pockets of flinds still remain in various corners of the world, their battle rage dulled to a simmering hatred to survive in the changing world.

B)FLIND GNOLLS;CRUEL MINDS:
Flinds always seem to know something that other gnolls do not, hinting at past empires and lost glories yet flinds are a secretive folk and never speak of it, instead the choose to focus on their utter disdain for the noble races and their magic they hate civilization and the concept it designates superiority. It always the flinds that round up clans and and arm them for war. much like Spotted gnolls who laugh and torture for entertainment Flinds too chuckle gleefully while cutting into their foes, yet they do it out of some dark satisfaction that every member of the noble races must suffer as all gnolls suffer.

C)SPOTTED GNOLLS;SLAVER LIFE:
The most common sort of gnoll found anywhere and everywhere, also the largest variety of gnoll. Spotted gnolls seek simple pleasures and quick gratification and rarely have the attention span to developing farms, villages or even base camps, to accomplish these basic tasks they go on massive slave runs raiding villages or caravans where ever they find them and take everything they can. Slaves will often be eager to convinces the gnoll alphas to go on frequent raids, because once the food runs out (which is often as spotted gnolls have a great deal of trouble rationing) slaves become the new easiest form of food

D)SPOTTED GNOLLS;VICIOUS LAUGHTER:
Spotted gnolls are easy to please, and often even freindly as long as they're kept well fed and suitably entertained as such they are often employed as mercenaries body guards or even manual labor by more civilised races. The spotted gnolls easygoing nature also reduces a lot of infighting allowing clans to band together in huge numbers for parties and feasts. Even when hunger and boredom turn their attention to more violent action many spotted gnolls maintain their positive demeanour yet twisting it into glee full laughter and cackling.

E)HOODED GNOLLS;EYE SHINE:
The Malediction know as "eye-shine" has become endemic in gnoll population to the extent that over 75% of all gnolls are born possessing it, other races possess but to much less frequent a degree. Eye-shine greatly reduces analytical thought tempting the victim to listen to demonic whispering for insight, Eye-shine also grants the victim the ability to see in complete darkness however creates a painful sensitivity to light. there has never been a recorded case of any hooded gnoll not possessing eye-shine. Eye-shine is not in of itself malevolent and some scholars believe it could be advantageous for communing with spirits of light as well

F)HOODED GNOLLS;WASTED POTENTIAL:
It was the Elves who urged the Hooded Gnolls to avoid the "fools bargain". They saw the budding of civilisation taking root in the Hooded gnolls tribal villages and could imagine a rewarding future for them.And to the Hooded gnolls credit they gave pause at the strong words of the noblest of races, and though the hooded gnolls could grudgingly accepted inferiority to the noble races the horrible prospect of being the weakest of their kind proved unthinkable, The hooded
gnolls damned themselves and signed the "fools bargain" for power they never even wanted.

G)TIGER GNOLLS; SCURVY DOGS:
Life on the open seas has favoured the Tiger gnolls (they are typically called "scurvy dogs" however are racially identical to other Tiger gnolls) , their natural agility and athletics making them hand and useful on board a ship. Gnolls also don't require nearly as much fresh fruit and vegetable to stay healthy as the noble races do. Tiger gnolls almost exclusively join pirate crews as the lure of treasure and carnage is to great for honest professions to hold much interest, their skill with light blades, climbing and dirty tactics come in especially handy.

H)TIGER GNOLLS; BACK STABBERS:
Tiger gnolls are known for sneaky underhanded tactics, by gnoll standards it just means you're likely to find a knife in your back, probably so far that it is now sticking out your front. Tiger gnolls are very cautious around their own kind for fear of getting killed in their sleep by rivals and prefer to work with other humanoids not because of any belief that these humanoids won't try to stab them in the back, but because they believe other races are too weak to do the job lethally. Tiger gnoll clans do exist, but they tend to be very insular and smaller than other tribes.
