Many ratfolk aspire to become elders from a very young age, and try to get their hands on books and histories when they go into trade, intending to later study them. Often, aspiring leaders pursue the healing arts to keep the rest of the warren healthy—and to ensure they live long enough to pass on their knowledge.Creatures in "Ratfolk" CategoryThis small, ratlike humanoid has a twitching, whiskered snout, pointed ears, and a long, leathery tail.
