The Skath

The Skath is a book in .
==Contents==
The Sketh are hyena-like creatures that make their home in the Azunite Desert. They can parrot Human speech, but they are much more like animals then men. They have some magical skills, are capable of rudimentary weaponsmithing (unlike other tool-using desert creatures, they refuse to steal and use weapons of Human make), and are formidable opponents. Fortunately, they are generally peaceful.
The Skath believe that they were created by the ancient Azunites to guard their buried treasures. Their relgious fervor makes them quite dangerous to treasure hunters—the Skath have been known to attack without warning those whose search for buried riches leads them too far into the mountains.
Of course, any regiment worth its mettle will be able to prevent treasure hunters from entering its territory.
One quality that makes the Skath more formidable than other desert creatures is that tthey have learned to domesticate other animals. One species of desert cat is found only in the company of Skath, and has thus become known as the Skath Cat. The Skath Cats are bloodthirsty, dangerous animals, and should be avoided whenever possible.
