Although he was too young to take part in the war against the Bulls, Savis has only contempt and hatred for his defeated enemies. The indoctrination that prevails in the Magic Academy paints the Bulls in an infamous light. Aspiring mages are taught that this inferior race always resorted to all kinds of treacheries to prevent the Goats from accessing the leading position that was rightfully theirs. Imbued with this hatred, when leaving the Magic Academy, Savis joined the Panthers’ Inquisitors, determined to hunt down and punish the impure races that tarnish Pyr’s image. Eager to attack even the poor, Savis soon earned a reputation for cruelty in the wastelands of Pyr.

Although the Hyenas are supposed to protect the Elephants’ tombs from possible pillaging, some of them are quite happy to open the most prestigious tombs in order to steal the treasures they hold. Fully aware of these practices, the Elephants have built gigantic tombs filled with traps, but, rather than dissuading some robbers, they see them as new challenges for their skills. This is how Yar became a bigwig among robbers, recovering the crown of Doinyo IV in the nick of time and avoiding being crushed, burned and impaled by the traps in his tomb. Still active, Yar controls the largest faction of the Hyena people’s robbers and is quite happy to hire out his services to whoever wants to recover an object that does not belong to him…

Even though most of the Baboons deeply regret the war with the Bulls, others like Waru have remained loyal to the Goats, hoping to use the war to their advantage to gain more power. After the war, Waru swore allegiance to the Goats and Panthers; he helped them fight the rebels, but also his own people. Hearing of Waru’s betrayal, the Baboons’ leader Saru banished him from the tribe; his name would forever stand in infamy. Waru’s betrayal was made even more despicable by the fact that he never once hesitated to reveal to the Panthers’ Inquisitors his ancestors’ knowledge of magic and the location of the secret entrances to the Baboon’s temples on Mount Pyr. The Baboons then found themselves in great peril.

For many years, the Armadillo Lizards’ savage and aggressive nature led them to live as looters and bandits, striking terror into the hearts of travelers who dared to venture along the isolated roads of Pyr. And for many years, due to the wars that raged between tribes, the Armadillo Lizards posed no real threat to peace in Tyr. During the Great war however, Banka, leader of the “Burned Scales” tribe, managed to unite all the tribes under his banner and joined sides with Crocodiles. When their victory was secured, the Goats - the new leaders of Pyr - named Banka general of their armies. They granted full powers to the Armadillo Lizards, who were then free to terrorize their defeated enemies.

Before the invasion of the Crocodiles, the house of the Panthers lived from vile schemes and never hesitated to apply the most brutal methods to maintain its status within the high society of Tyr. However, the Foxes did not condone such methods, and constantly strived to reduce the Panthers’ influence and power. After the war, when the roles were reversed, the Panthers founded the Great order of the Inquisitors to hunt down and torture all those who would deny its newfound power. After being appointed as an Inquisitor, Tali roamed the barren lands of Pyr to crush the last pockets of rebellion. Her perversity and the evil pleasure that she derives from manipulating her prey into betraying their brethren have made her one of the most feared hunters among the rebels.

The Turtle tribes of Pyr are known to be fierce nomadic hunters. Handicapped by their slowness, they have become past masters in the art of camouflage; they patiently wait for curious visitors to approach them before unleashing a crushing attack. As they have little contact with other houses, the most sordid rumors are heard about them; according to one of them, after flattening their opponents like pancakes, they eagerly devour them while screaming “Karwa burga”! While this poor reputation has enabled them to live a secluded and peaceful life for many centuries, they have recently fallen prey to the Armadillo Lizards and Panthers, who organize bloody driven hunts to recover their shells as trophies. Revolted by such cruelty, Don has decided to rekindle his people’s vengeful flame, and has come out of hiding to lead a guerrilla against the Goats and their allies.
