And like all primitive people, they have been subject to manipulation by those more advanced--and in the case of the Kroak brains that work a bit better. But do not confuse their lack of intellect with a lack of spirit, culture, or the fundamental chutzpah it takes to survive in a world such as theirs. To survive you must harness forces more powerful than yourself, adapt them to your needs, and use the flow of the world around you even if you do not understand it. Chief among these manipulations in the recent age is simply known as “the Voice.” Something-- a craft, an asteroid, a monstrosity-- tore into the marsh many ages ago and sunk deep into her loam. It fashioned a creator the size of a lake, and a lake it became. The Kroak, at the dawn of their bronze age, claimed the carapace of this great thing. They call her the Gular, the creator of the greatest song. Whether the cities were built on top of the artifact, or the artifact being a city itself is lost to the old croaks. All that is known is that this structure and the harmony it produces leads the people of the Kroak diaspora mind and soul. [color=144c26][center][b]- --- -[/b][/center][/color] [b]Demographics:[/b] The Kroak are an amphibious race of vagabonds, story tellers, and cold blooded killers. They do not prescribe to the common “moralities” of wind breaths. Theirs is a world of survival against nature, the rifts, and themselves. Quick to ally and betray in the same sentence. When those you deal with may evaporate overnight into the ether, so too do useless promises. Songs are not sung of those without action, drama, or conflict. For those who cannot survive, songs are not sung at all.

They are heavily waterlogged fens. Fungi are her cheif life and their perpetual spores hang about the air like glowing chafe. Flying insects infest her swaths, and the top predators (even to the Kroak) are her flora.

[color=144c26][center][b]- --- -[/b][/center][/color] [b]Society:[/b] A simple chorus of simple people. Yet those who live their feeble lives with a raging hunger. They hunger for glory, purpose, and a path to take their people to the next tomorrow. They bound this path at any cost. And those who can find the path no longer help in its retelling. It is a path that has ebbed and streamed for thousands of generations. It is a symphony with the cruel world around it. The beauty it tells is all its own. Like the marsh they have spread. They are a tidewater that will see itself reach every corner of these lands. It is not an option, it is a force. Like creeping tides, it is their nature. It is called to them by their very existence. Called from the great Gular song beneath. [color=144c26][center][b]- --- -[/b][/center][/color] [b]Military:[/b] Quite... amphibious. [center][b]-- Land --[/b][/center] The Kroak operate in small bands with emphasis on speed and aggression. Their simplicity of dress and design betrays the technology they hold. Though aesthetically and functionally spears, the primary armaments' of Kroak Marine Raiders are particle long rifles.
