Editing A Phantom Bestiary (section)

==Fir Bolg==
Wild and bestial, these feral wolf-men stand just over seven feet tall and have sworn themselves the enemies of mankind.  The Fir Bolg were the first mortal inhabitants of the westlands, and have now claimed the wild places and the shadows as their own.  They mark their territory with blood.  When the races of men moved west, out of Estria and into Ceumri and the Deiran, and began to build towns and cities, they cleared wide stretches of land to farm or graze cattle and unwittingly stole the lands of the Fir Bolg.  Over the centuries, the Fir Bolg have frequently bitten back.

Though not naturally inclined towards industry, the Fir Bolg are a people of feral and cunning intellect.  They salvage the tools of those they kill, and over the long years on the moors and in the deepest woods, they have learned to wield weapons and wear light armor.  They run on four legs almost as easily as on two, and are masters of pack tactics, grouping together to hound a single foe and run it to ground.  When they strike, they strike quickly, and fade back into the shadows, safe from assault until they can burst forth again.  Of late, these strikes have been growing in frequency... 

A character knows the following with a successful skill check:

* '''Streetwise DC 20''' - ''Old Dogs, New Tricks'' - The Fir Bolg went one step worse than butchering the Fenian Denholm down to a man: they took their place.  They kept the fires burning, kept the sheep in pasturage, kept true all the sounds of life.  In this way, they took the next trading caravan to come through town entirely by surprise.  Only a handful of men escaped that ambush, but when they returned in force the town was abandoned.  The caravan wagons, though, and all their pack animals, were missing.  Did the Fir Bolg take them, for some other, new plan?
* '''DC 25''' - ''The Leader of the Pack'' - 
* '''Nature DC 30''' - ''Proud and Bitter Sons'' - It was Cerithwen made the Fir Bolg, from wolves she found when first she came to Scalgard, but her children failed to hold her interest.  While the first dwarves had fosterage from the giants, the Fir Bolg had to succeed, and fail, on their own.  Now they seek help from none and their feral hearts scream for their mother's blood and an end to all her works.
