Mortz

Many Mortz survived in the deep caves, pits, chambers, and tunnels of the Dark Lord Kritias' great underground fortresses of Vondor. 
== History ==
=== First Age ===
Sometime around 1500 A.D, Kritias made the land of Vondor his realm, and then started to build the foundations of the Mortz. During the War of the Inferis and Kritias in 1600 A.D, the Mortz formed the main host of Kritias' power.
== Characteristics ==
=== Appearances ===
Mortz were once loyal creatures, but when Lord Kritias created the Inferis, they turned into evil, cruel, wicked, hateful, blackhearted, and hated everybody and everything, particularly the orderly and prosperous. Physically, they were short in stature and humanoid in shape. They were generally squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, bow-legged, with wide mouths and slant eyes, long arms, dark red skin, and fangs. 
Mortz made no beautiful things, but many clever ones including machines, tools, weapons, and instruments of torture, were delighted by wheels, engines, and explosions, and could tunnel and mine. They hate themselves and have an even deeper hatred of the Dark Lord Kritias who has brought them to this end. The result is a violent and warlike race in a perpetual state of chaos with itself and others. Despite their abominable nature, they are not dim-witted and are clever and crafty and make good tools, weapons, and machines of war but produce no beautiful things nor do they trade or share anything with others, unless ordered to by a Dark Lord for the purposes of war and conquest. 
They also developed tunnel-making, for living underground away from the light. Wickedness and violence were their nature, and they were known to quarrel and kill each other over petty things. An example of this destructiveness was its effect on nature such as was the case with forests and trees, which were often destroyed to fuel their war-making.
