Along with the larger tribes tenuously united under the bloody banner of the Carrion King, dozen of smaller tribes, warbands, and groups of raiders obey the gnoll warlord’s call. Listed here are but a handful of diverse groups of hunters, murderers, and thieves moved by the Carrion King’s claw.
kel-Vohr’s Hunters: This band of six accomplished gnoll hunters follow the flind kel-Vohr, a living legend in the Pale Mountain region who supposedly single-handedly slew a roc in its sleep and fed upon its eggs—some claim he was a normal gnoll before, and that the experience made him grow into a flind. kel-Vohr and his followers are skilled trackers who enjoy ambushing their prey at night.
The Ghulveis: The remnants of a gnoll tribe of the same name, the Ghulveis were afflicted with a terrible, flesh-wasting disease said to be punishment from Nga/ani the Warrior Queen for their weak fertility. Now only five gauze-wrapped flinds and a pack of mangy hyenas—who lick their masters’ wounds—remain. The Carrion King employs the leper-like gnolls as threats, sending them among those who displease him.
The Sordaiv: This isolated, inbred tribe of human nomads has long been estranged from the other wanderers of the central portion of the Two Kingdoms, believing some great wrong was committed against them in the distant past. Numbering no more than 20 ash-robed raiders, these dull-witted but skilled desert trackers now lend their services to the Carrion King.
Wyrmslaves: These 18 gnolls were once of the kel-Drogat tribe, but their people were wiped out by the fat behir Lazzairhage. While the behir claims the gnolls as slaves, several of his servants are considerably more cunning than he is. Thus, the gnolls have convinced him to join in the plots of the Carrion King.
