Golaunt (Standard Race, 9 RP)
Similar to the nothrog, the golaunt developed in places of the world where an harsh environment or some natural or man-made disaster forced various humanoid tribes to live together and intermingle. Golaunt have goblinoid and orcish blood as well as a little troll in their genealogy. They are not necessarily stupid or more violent than other humanoids, however; in fact, their frequent travels across the world in search of new ways to survive, often as mercenaries selling their warlike abilities to the best offerent, led to a developed talent for adapting to new cultures and learning new languages.
