Changes: Shek

Revision as of 05:43, 24 April 2020

This article is about the character race. For the faction, see Shek Kingdom.

“	A warrior society that values strength and hardiness above more intellectual pursuits. They are sometimes a little humourless and have a reputation as dumb brutes, but this is not always the case. Their external skeletal plates provide a natural armour but hinders more dexterous pursuits like sneaking around.	”
–Game Description

Shek are a Race of bony, horned humanoids. It is the only race which does not have a related subrace.

The Shek have a culture that values pride, honor, and physical strength—so much so that many would prefer to die in a hopeless battle than continue living as a disgraced survivor. The Shek are known for their steadfast stoicism and considerable absence of humor when compared to the more jovial races, such as Humans.

Shek's bodies are covered from head to toe in bony plates which serve as an excellent natural armor. The Shek are also remarkable for their long bony protrusion/horns, which are a source of pride for many Shek. They are renown for their exceptional strength and incredible toughness. The Shek legend, Kral, is a testament to the immense toughness of the Shek—or is at least indicative of how much the Shek value toughness, strength, and courage.

Shek are significantly larger than most other races, and thus require more food than any other race to survive. It is important to consider this before recruiting a Shek.
