Gwani

Gwani are peaceful inhabitants of the ice regions of the northern Serpent Isle. However, they are hunted because of their fur by the trappers. This in the end becomes their doom, when a massacre caused by Hazard the Trapper brings them at the brink of extinction, with no hope of recovery from it.

Gwani are found in the cold north of the Serpent Isle, west of the Skullcrusher Mountains as well as within the mountains themselves.

Notable examples

 * The Avatar meets a number of Gwani, all with interesting personalities. However, the most important one is Yenani, their leader. She helps the Avatar through a number of quests, and survives Hazard the Trapper's attack on the tribe as one of the few.
