From the highlands of Northern Omeria come the Rasgax tribes. A nomadic people, the Rasgax focus their efforts on combating the belligerent races of the north, including orcs, frost giants, and c’nuim iteah. Rasgax have fair to reddish skin and blonde or red hair. Their eyes are often deep scarlet or sometimes even bright red. Rare among humans, they have the ability to see in the dark.
Most Rasgax cover their bodies and faces in ritualistic tattoos. They often wear animal hides and cloth kilts. Some fight nude and smear the bodies in mud and animal feces as a deterrent, lending further credence to the legend that they are part animal.

Howl (1/Day. The howler emits an unearthly howl. Each creature within 60 feet of the howler that can hear it must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the creature is frightened of the howler for 1 minute. The creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself with a success. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw or the effect ends for it is immune to this howler’s Howl for 24 hours.
