![]() Little is known about the shrouded warriors, save that they are no mere street thugs, but rather artisans of the highest degree. Even as far away as Avistan, legends of the mystical assassins of Tian Xia manage to reach the ears of bards and sages, featuring frequently in fireside stories of that distant land. Oni believe themselves to be born to rule, and are quick to take over the societies they find themselves within, making cunning use of their shapeshifting abilities. An oni loves nothing more than indulging in pleasures of the flesh-whether that be sex, food, violence, or some other visceral pursuit-and those humanoids roped into serving them do so to their sorrow. Cursed creatures without natural forms of their own, the oni long ago discovered means by which they could manifest physical forms in order to pursue their twisted ends. Oni Ninja Terrifying creatures of Tian folklore, the oni are unfortunately far more than mere fairy tales. While many, especially Ulfen merchants, claim that the days of bearded warriors sailing south from their icy holdings to sack poorly defended towns are long over, old scars are slow to heal, and most residents of the Steaming Sea know that within every Ulfen is a furious berserker waiting to be unleashed. Coastal communities as far south as the Inner Sea know to fear the sight of the dragon-headed longships of the Ulfen raiders, as where the dragon boats sail, fire and pillaging are sure to follow. A unique breed of warriors rises among the Ulfen of the Land of the Linnorm Kings, merciless raiders who sail far from their frigid lands in pursuit of plunder and glory. Thus only those who have hunted a linnorm, slain it, and survived are fit to be called Linnorm Kings. Gigantic and lethal, with the ability to breathe doom and lay terrible curses upon even those who think they’ve defeated the terrors, linnorms know few rivals, and only their limited numbers prevent them from consuming all the lesser creatures in their lands. For as long as the Ulfen have struggled to make lives in their rugged land, so have they done battle with the primeval dragon-kin that claim the realm’s eldritch forests and deadly mountains as their ancient territories.
