Re: more CthulhuHawk? (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | Well, first, to clear something up...I'm not claiming the Flan are the oldest humans. Just the group that has lived in the Flanaess for the longest.
Now, onto the demi-humans...I'd say they know quite a bit more about the dark history of certain groups of Flan than the Oerids, Suel, or even most Flan. This has colored their perceptions of humanity, which some of the atrocities from the time of the Great Migrations (espically from certain Suel Houses) has only reinforced.
One of the results of this is the fact that among certain groups of demi-humans, humans are treated like the humanoids are. Now, not all react like this, but some definately do.
In general, the average demi-human knows little about the dark deeds of certain Flan groups, just what stories bards still circulate today among the other civilized races, which are often distored and full of disinformation (some of it delebrately placed by those who defeated the evils mentioned). There are certain elements among the demi-humans (certain scholars and priests, as well as those tasked with guarding things or entities that couldn't be destroyed) who know a lot more, although they are, in general, unwilling to share this information with outsiders, espically humans.
Sometimes, the largest libraries of forbidden books detailing blasphemous rites to hideous entities aren't found among the overtly evil kingdoms...sometimes, they're found hidden away in the hands of good, and sometimes, the accumulation of that knowledge leads to their corruption and slide into decadence, madness, and profane evil. |
