Gnoll

Ravenous, doglike humanoids who Group Alpha encountered when they reached Quins Redoubt. They seemed to attack in numbers and were quite a challenge for the group even with the assistance of the ash pirates. They have since been encountered even beyond the borders of the Ash-Wastes, not too far from the town of Vohnenheim.
Recently, Group Alpha has discovered that the Gnolls have a burgeoning civilization of their own, having several cities, and being led by a Gnoll known as "The King of Ash". They've demonstrated that they have some sort of judiciary system, although by all accounts it seems cruel, despotic, and otherwise demented. A gnoll has also claimed to be an engineer, being responsible for constructing a section of walls within their capital city, Loriko.
