=== Sigrech ===

	The Sigrech are, thankfully, few in number. A savage, monstrous people, their origins are shrouded in mystery and legend. Savage killers, blood drinkers, and cannibals, some attribute their existence to a curse or other deviltry.

While most people have never seen a Sigrech, they would immediately know what they gazed upon. Sigrech have pale, mottled skin that appears to be peeling or otherwise decaying, even in an completely healthy subject. They lope more than they walk, their hunched spines supporting their massively muscled back and sinewy necks. Their faces tend to be much more angular than a Crudag and they have four pair of sharpened fangs that they wield to great effect in combat. Although fairy tales portray them as slow and stupid, those who have encountered them know that they are remarkably agile and fully capable of complex thought. In fact, during ancient War of the Blood Branch, where the armies of Dandreen hunted the Sigrech almost to extinction in the Carillon Mountains of northern Provendo, these monsters were feared as much for their sophisticated traps and ingenious weaponry as for their natural ferocity. 

These ancient Sigrech were known to have constructed buildings, used a written language and alphabet, practice metallurgy and have their own established religions. Wild Sigrech in the modern age seem far less sophisticated, although vulgar rumors still abound of Sigrech civilizations in the dark, forested mountains of the Stadden and in the Hangritic north, true home of all devils. To the extent that they are still encountered at all, however, it is primarily in small covens of about 5-10 Sigrech and their degenerate associates, secreted within large cities. Here, they orchestrate kidnappings and murders to sate their diabolical lusts, and have also been behind the poisoning of water and food supplies, assassination of officials, and subversion. The motive for these operations is matter of grave concern.
