Trell (non-human): pastoral nomadic warrior society in transition to sedentarianism
GotM, Glossary
'Trell were plains-dwellers.'
DG, UK MMPB, p.107
'...my homeland, on the other side of the Jhag Odhan.'
- Mappo Runt
DG, UK MMPB, p.173
'Short and wide as a siege engine, his skin a deep, warm brown, his black hair braided and studded with fetishes. If anything, his canines were bigger than his companion's (Icarium), and looking much sharper.
A Trell.'
DG, UK MMPB, p.302
'Trell are quite literate...Have been for some time. Seven, eight centuries, in fact.'
DG, UK MMPB, p.145
"Venath, who'd once been allies of the Jaghut. Who gave of their blood to the Trell - and what a fell mix that turned out to be"
DoD, UK tpb, p563
Mappo's people
'two centuries past...He'd known centuries already, wedded to war in what had become an ever-repeating cycle of raids, feuding and bloody sacrifices before the god of honour...He had been young when he walked out of the trader town that was his home. He was caught - like so many of his age back then - in a fevered backlash, rejecting the rotting immobility of the Trell towns and the elder warriors who'd become merchants trading in bhederin, goats and sheep, and now relived their fighting paths in the countless taverns and bars. He embraced the wandering ways of old, willingly suffered initiation into one of the back-land clans that had retained the traditional lifestyle.'
DG, UK MMPB, p.292-3
Mappo seems to have a kind of darkvision, neither he or Icarium having 'much need for artificial light, the darkness...offering no obstacle.' (DG, UK MMPB, p.172) Whether or not this is a racial trait is a separate question, though it seems likely to be.
