 ====== Syphkolk ======
-The Syphkolk are small humanoid-like creatures that live in hidden communities scattered around [[..:|Polemos]].  They were originally created through magical experimentation by men of evil to cheaply fill the ranks of [[polemos:3rd_age:events:elesh_rebellion|Eleshite]] armies.  Syphkolk are somewhat simple, but develop quickly and reproduce liberally.  There are instances where nations of good have been completely destroyed by hordes of syphkolk, who use sheer numbers and their nimble and stealthy nature to out-do their enemies.   Being evil creations, their alignment may not stray from it, lest they slowly whither away.
