Fortunately, the keen senses of a lupin nearly always alert it in time to avoid ingesting the substance. If wolfsbane is somehow injected into a lupin's bloodstream, it acts as Type P poison. The lupins of Renardy have long imitated the humans of the Savage Baronies, mimicking their arts, nobility, hereditary laws, and philosophies. Like the humans of the Savage Coast, the lupins have a fair level of civilisation and technology. The kingdom of Renardy is a merchant power with a large middle class and much diversity among its people.
Most commoners are farmers and herders.
Though lupins once roamed the steppes and plains in nomadic bands, except for wandering adventurers, they are now a settled people. Some traditions still remain from nomadic days, however, such as Beast Riders, who are now considered part of the upper classes, if not actual nobility. The country has a strong feudal government, and it can raise an army for national defence within a matter of days. Renardy's borders are carefully patrolled for goblinoid incursions. Towns in Renardy are typically wood or stone houses surrounding a central keep or castle.
