The Skrav

The Skrav: Hailing from the Silg Expanse, Skrav are a race of rodentlike humanoids. Second in number only to goblins, they make up a sizeable amount of the Iridisian armies. They are cruel and proud of it, experts at tortures and manipulation, crafters of poisons and plagues. Their religion is based loosely off of the teachings of the goddess Tarona, goddess of Disease and Decay, and they revel in filth, the smell coming from their camps can only be described as disgusting.
