Humanoid ratmen Curst
1618
The continuing expansion of Belamir and dwindling of the Desolation drove the Slitheren, or Ratmen, north-east and into the Tainted Forest. Only then were their numbers, versatility and ferocity apparent. Hemmed in by the dwarves, elves, orcs and Erlyid, they proved impossible to dislodge and made the southern Tainted Forest their own.
The Slitheren are by far and away the most adaptable of the Curst, and the only breed to have spread into Alair in general with any success. Much like their ratty relatives, there is little chance they can ever be comprehensively exterminated.
