Graskul

The Graskul are a fully sentient martial race - broad-shouldered, thick-skinned, and shaped by generations of conflict into natural warriors. Though their distant origins lie in the primitive Grimkin and the tribal Graskin, the Graskul stand apart as a distinct people with emerging clans, traditions, and a formidable military culture.

Standing between 1.70 and 1.80 meters, the Graskul are physically imposing, with dense musculature and heavy bone structure. Their armor is a patchwork of forged metal plates, hardened leather, and reinforced bone—functional rather than ornate. Many Graskul enhance this fearsome silhouette with carved bone masks or ritual face-paint, a longstanding tradition meant to unsettle enemies and mark the warrior’s role within the clan.

Graskul society is built around disciplined warbands, oath-groups, and clan hierarchies. They fight with organized formations, quick battlefield signals, and practiced coordination. Their weapons—two-handed axes, heavy blades, and powerful bows—reflect a people who have moved beyond improvised tools into true warfare.

A marauding Graskul group rarely travels alone. They often bring Graskin foot soldiers, used as low-ranked fighters or expendable shock troops, typically in groups of 5–10 Graskin led by 1–3 Graskul.
Where the Graskin provide numbers, the Graskul provide dominance, discipline, and leadership.
