Also known simply as 'Gaunts', this mysterious and reclusive folk are by far the least fathomable of the known races. Physically, they are immediately recognizable-- they stand seven feet tall on average, but are incredibly thin. They have long limbs and an elongated face, with large eyes that radiate a pale glow. Gaunts dwell in the most remote areas of the realm, and rarely mix with other folk. When they do, it is most often to hire someone to obtain rare materials, which (it is rumored) they use for highly magical purposes. As a race they are incredibly brilliant, with a masterful grasp of all things arcane and forgotten. They are also quite devious, and show little emotion -- a combination which makes folk fearful and suspicious of their motives. Outsiders never see their concealed homes. Gaunts' eyes are extremely magical, allowing them perfect vision in total darkness, as well as a heightened perception. Rumours abound about a secret ritual that allows them, after attaining a certain level of power, to see hidden people.
