Ratonga
From WikiWatch
The Cryptic Cabal
The Ratonga are agile, crafty, and surprisingly charismatic. Little is known of their past. They have a keen perspective and are highly intelligent, but tend to be selfish and manipulative. They prefer to lurk in the shadows and remain unseen; whatever they do is intended to be silent and blend in with the darkness. Though lacking strength, the excellent agility of Ratonga often makes them perfect scouts.

General
The Ratonga are a race of rodent humanoids about the height of a dwarf. Their bodies are covered in thick fur, and they have long furless tails. Their eyes are small and beady, best suited for the dark. Their armor is most often made of hides or light chainmail forged of rare alloys. They prefer to lurk in the shadows and remain unseen: whatever they don is usually made to be silent and blend in with the darkness. Ratonga possess little physical strength but their agility is unsurpassed, making the role of the scout a natural choice for this crafty race. Their high intelligence make them quick students and it is not unknown for them to excel as mages and priests.

Background
The Ratonga are a race of intelligent rat-like creatures with no known creator. The race was first encountered in the Age of War where Ratonga guides aided Freeport Militia troop movements through subterranean tunnels to the Desert of Ro, allowing supplies and troops to move while the great city was under a long siege. After this encounter, the Ratonga vanished back into the depths they came from. The Ratonga did not reappear again, until the massive earthquakes of the Rending began to rip the continent of Antonica into pieces. Rumors surfaced that the Ratonga were a tribe of rat-men related to the Chetari of Dragon Necropolis, a theory that the ratonga themselves seemed to encourage. However, it quickly became clear that these new arrivals were an order of magnitude more intelligent than the Chetari, leading many to speculate that the race's origins might lie in the [[Underfoot[[ itself. On this subject, the Ratonga say nothing.
The Ratonga often emblazon a symbol on their chest. This symbol is always the same, whatever it may mean.
Faith
The Ratonga show no spiritual inclinations, with no outward worship of any known deity. What transpires in the shadows when the Ratonga congregate is unknown.
