• Many assume they are wizards or witches, which is
not true.
• Many are Attite tricksters, which is true.
• Nyutu are thought by many to be untrustworthy
and thieves, which is sometimes true given their
transient nature.
• Some say Nyutu children are born to the stage,
which is partially true, since offspring have a chance
of retaining any life energy abilities.
• The Nyutu believe the Nyutra tribe from which they
come was cursed in ancient times when its king recanted on a marriage proposal between his daughter and a powerful wizard (some say it was a Dragon
King). This scattered the tribe as a result, but they
believe the Nyutra tribe will reassemble, foretold
by a variety of circumstances. The tribe will reunite
for a short time one day, and much chaos will transpire in the meantime.

Boneshards
How does one identify a Boneshard? How is one of Khitus’
most deadly assassins distinguished before she can unleash
her terrible fury? Answer that, friend, and the wealth of kings
shall tumble down from a clear sky upon you!
Boneshards have no formal society and often do not even
share common tribal or blood ties. (While the majority are
human, there are tales of at least a few penmai and pachyaura
Boneshards in the past five generations.) They do not congregate to share stories or brag of exploits. Their sole interpersonal relationship comes from their harsh apprenticeships
that, as often as not, leave failed pupils dead in a pool of their
own blood or foaming at the eyes and mouth from their own
poisons. Those experts who survive their training become living weapons, masters of their own pain, and skilled assassins
armed with naught but what they carry beneath their skin.
