I expect you're both in luck. On stream when they were showing art of the peoples of the Mwangi, they included two Ekujae from Cult of Cinders (one was Nketiah, at least). I would hazard a guess that both the Ekujae and Akrivel will get at least an overview in it.

I also remember Allie Bustion (I think it was her, at least?) talking...quite a while ago by now about all three of the Ekujae (plus the Song'o halflings, I think), so it's likely all of them get a spotlight of some sort.
Unsure about Akrivel though, haven't heard of that, but we might find out today!

Minor correction: The Ekujae are one of three groups of elves. But yes, all three will be in the book.

Just to let y'all know, the Goloma's boosts are +WIS +Free, while the Shisk's boosts were confirmed by Ron Lundeen on Discord are +INT +Free.
Still nothing on Gnolls, Anadi, or Grippli's boosts.
AND LUIS COMES IN WITH THE CLUTCH WIN! Here's the boosts for all 6 ancestries:
Anadi: +DEX +WIS +Free -CON
Gnoll: +STR +INT +Free -WIS
Grippli: +DEX +WIS +Free -STR
Conrasu: +CON +WIS +Free -CHA
Goloma: +WIS +Free
Shisk: +INT +Free

These are really well chosen, I want to say, Gnoll is our first native STR/INT, Grippli seem naturally great for ranged builds and magic users, Conrasu are going to make for surprisingly good warriors which is pretty cool.
honestly everywhere i look i see good stuff here.

Gnolls making for killer Magi is not a choice I expected! I’m a huge Gnoll fan (first ever character was one), and I’m super surprised by this stat spread - makes me eager to see what their lore is like.
(I’m surprised not to see a +CON for carrion eaters!)
Yeah, given their senses and stamina, I totally would have gone for +Con and +Wis, and, given their racial reputation, a penalty to Charisma.
A bonus to Intelligence, now that's gonna be a big change, lore-wise, and I can't wait to see what's up with that! Gnolls have never been portrayed as anything like Dwarves, innovaters in craft or metalwork or architecture, or Elves, focused on arcana, so it's definitely an interesting choice.
These are definitely not gonna be your daddy's gnolls!

I’m SO curious to see what their culture will be like - especially in regards to faith. I love to play religious characters, and I’m really hoping for something unique here.

I did read that one of the 12 magic warriors was a gnoll and as a result gnolls are welcome in magambya. These racial bonuses are likely a reflection of this lore specifically. I'm guessing alot of the gnolls in Mwangi are based around Magambya, and are alot more bookish. Regardless, it will certainly be interesting.

I cannot wait for this to come out either! July can't come soon enough! I'm curious about the price..it's more expensive than any of the other Lost Omens books, is this the new price for all books in this series or is it just for this one?
Just want to know for budgeting purposes! I'm happy to pay more for a book of such high quality.

It's based on the page count. I believe this book is close to 300 pages long, so that's why it's more expensive VS other Lost Omens books, which averaged to be 128 pages.

Ooh, I did not know that, interesting!
Paizo has reflavored ghouls to be not just about carrion, but also ancient knowledge and lore, so it could be interesting to say that an offshoot of gnolls have a similar focus on ancient lore, maybe keeping records carved in bone.

As an aside: the mention of goodly ghouls in Extinction Curse makes me want to play one!

Play a ghoul? Don't get your hopes up. They'd need to be releasing something like a giant book about the undead. Oh, they are? Well, they'd need to have hinted at undead ancestries and heritages in it. Oh, they also did that? ... I guess you should get your hopes up after all!
But, tying it back, it's really nice to see player options being opened up for things like gnolls and anandi, and to have more information about more of the world.

One could say they have a "hunger for knowledge"
I'll see myself out

Ezekieru wrote:Gnoll: +STR +INT +Free -WISOh wow, that INT boost for gnolls is a real surprise, I would have bet on STR and/or CON any day. This opens some interesting character ideas.
I really can't wait for this book to come out.
I think they've got a good reason for not doing the "and" of and/or. Two physical boosts means the flex can go into the third, cementing them in "best martial". Looking forward to seeing the expanded gnoll lore, especially for the heritages!

According to Sara Marie, shipping window starts on the 21st. 5 days from today at the earliest. =)
I'm actually a bit relieved by that, I don't get paid until the 22nd, and I think this one is going to hurt.

Producing the order (telling us that x and y will be shipped and how much it will cost) is fiffernt that the shipping process, correct?
Yeah, its kind of a first step to give everyone a heads up of exactly what is about to happen to your bank account. The shipping will happen a bit later.

According to the relevant thread in Customer Service, the initial order generation will happen from today, and shipping is expected to occur between the 21st and the 2nd.
