Vek'pem Ahyre
If you choose to create a Vek'pem Ahyre, it is important to remember that many people in the land would fear and be suspicious of your unique gift. Fear may cause them to hunt, hurt or even kill your character. Stay mysterious and you'll live longer.
Of all the races to play, a Vek'pem Ahyre is probably the most difficult. They are brutal and often emotionless. They think little of the 'cattle' that they feed upon. They are usually murderers who do not feel remorse for their actions. They are the enemies of the Seven Gods and all of their followers. They have few allies outside a few Wolfkin who chose to align themselves with the Vek'pem Ahyre, and the odd follower of Belial amongst the 'normal' races. Think very seriously about whether you are ready to play such a character before selecting it in creation.
