Racial Physical Description:
The Dunaux are similar to Gnomes in size and weight. The main differences are in skin, eyes, head and hands. Their skin ranges from black to dark blue, their eyes have no pupils and range from red to blue. While their hands only have four fingers, they have no issues manipulating objects.
One of the most distinctive features is the head. The face is narrow and angular with no nose, but two slits where the sides of it would be. Along the top sides of the head are two ridges that run back and join at the base of the skull. Then there is the lack of a mouth. In its place are three mandibles that function similarly to viper fangs. One starts from the chin and points up from the nose slits and the other two located on the outside of the slits pointed towards the chin. The Dunaux use these mandibles to inject one of two kinds of venom. First venom is for digestion purposes, it is injected into their food, which is then liquefied and absorbed through the hollow fangs. The second venom is a little more deadly, as it sucks the life right out of its victim. However a Dunaux can only use so much before running dry.
Even though they lack a mouth, the Dunaux have no issue communicating via Telepathy. This telepathy is only for communication, but they have other mental abilities that allow them to gain a sense of what others are thinking.
Children of the Swamp:
The Dunaux were created by The Nameless One. A powerful Lich that resides in The Swamp of the Dead. For the first couple of centuries, these vicious, hive minded creatures roamed the swamp killing all they came across. Slowly however, they began to develop an intelligent consciousness that made them start to question the orders they were given. On the day they were informed to start preparations for an invasion of the nearest village, the Dunaux took up arms against the Nameless One and his other minions. The other monstrosities were defeated, but the Lich escaped unfortunately.
Freed from the undead abomination’s rule, the Dunaux left the swamp and began to live on its borders. Taking it upon themselves to keep the Nameless One’s forces at bay, the Dunaux earned their place among the other civilizations.
Struug was born in one of these hives (villages). This one however, was starting to develop a technique to utilize weapon and spell. One night, a ruckus began to arise at the swamp side of the hive. Grabbing his weapon Struug joined the other town militia in attempting to fight off the latest undead monstrosities. These were different, they were led by a man followed by a flaming skeleton. Quickly, the hive was overwhelmed and Struug was knocked unconscious under a collapsed building. When he awoke the next morning , everything was destroyed as were the next three villages he came across. Finding other survivors, the Magus learned the name of the man leading the hoard, Nemesis.
Finding out where the horde was headed, the Dunauxian Magus joined the small army amassed to stop them. The horde was ultimately defeated, but Nemesis’ body was never found. Despite the victory, and his role in it, Struug always felt that there was more he could have done to save his village and the other innocents that were massacred after. The nightmares didn’t help either. He suffered horrible visions of Nemesis and other terrible creatures.
He needed to get away from it all, and upon hearing of a new island discovered, it seemed like a good time to do it. So Struug volunteered.
