The Marauders are homins that were abandoned and left behind in the Old Lands during the Exodus. These homins survived the kitin onslaught and swore revenge against those who managed to survive and escape through the Prime Roots to the New Lands. Not too much is known about the Marauders and only a handful of names are known to us.

The Marauders have had many agents and spies in the New Lands among these count Nung Hirongi, traitor of the Cho dynasty.

The Clans

The Marauders are grouped in clans, with each clan being autonomous. Despite each clan's autonomy a warlord rules over all the clans. The current warlord of the Marauders is known as Melkiar the Black Varinx.

Language

It has been suggested that the Marauders have developed a language of their own, whether this is true or not has yet to be seen. What is certain though is that most Marauders speak with a strong accent which cannot be traced back to any found currently in the New Lands.

Religion

Marauders claim to be free of any and all influences from both the Kami and the Karavan, and look down with contempt at those who hold revere them as divine.

Technology

Much of the Marauders are shrouded in mystery and it is often said that hey possess strange technology that has never been seen in the New Lands. It is believed that a mysterious substance referred to as matoxia is somehow tied to Marauder technology.
