“Poachers, murderers, savages.
They drain bones to the marrow,
and paint their faces blood red.
Thank the Twelve their kind’s few.”

— Gridanian citizen on cohabiting with Miqo’te

Gruff complexion and pale manners, such is the lot attributed to many Miqo’te coming from secular ancestry. They have long dwelled in the deep forests of the Black Shroud, and for most known history of that period, have been at war with its other inhabitants. Now, only skirmishes. Some walk amongst the other races, winning their kindness, though rarely their trust.

Others, like Kahn’a, have done nothing to improve the consideration of their peers. Not for want of villainous acts and unsettling rituals, but because old ways die a slow death. And that the warmth of a hearth softens mind and body, to the point they can ill understand the crudeness of an existence unburdened by laws and Order, and dubs it as savagery.
