Home The Outcast

Kuru

These island dwelling humanoids have red eyes and file their teeth to points. They routinely practice cannibalism. They were cast out of Gar for the sin of disobedience, for allowing vegetarians when they had been commanded to eat meat. Finding themselves in a lush food forest as their god’s idea of an ironic punishment, the Kuru were mostly revolted and set about hunting down the vegetarians that got them exiled. Foremost in the hunt is Melos the Hungry.

The kuru use fingerbones for currency. 3 middle bone = 1 gold

2 far bone = 1 middle bone

2 middle bone = 1 near bone
