Editing Sutak (section)

==Titanspawn==
The Sutaks first appeared in the 2nd Creature Collection for [[Scarred Lands]] first edition. Here, they are described as the favored children on Thulkas, the Iron Titan and the Father of Fire, a fierce and cruel breed of [[beastfolk|humanoid equines]] who remain the most numerous and aggressive of the titanspawn. Using their resistance to fire and heat, they have hidden from retribution by hiding in the hostile depths of the Ukrudan Desert; from here, they repeatedly prey upon merchant caravans, and sporadically erupt in far-reaching rampages, earning them the moniker "Plague of the Ukrudan".

A sutak appears as a well-muscled human covered in a layer of short, rust-colored fur, with digitigrade legs ending in equine hooves and an emaciated equine's face. They have loud, harsh voices with an unnerving metallic dissonance that can set the listener's teeth on edge. Though they are social enough to form clans under the control of powerful, ruthless chieftains, they are an extremely dissorganized race, which the godspawn regard as a small mercy; clan feuding and petty rivalries bedevil the sutaks, made all the worse by the combination of their violent politics and the competition for the sparce resources of the Ukrudan. As such, just getting one's own clan to organize can be a struggle for a chieftain; cooperating with other clans is extremely difficult, and such alliances are never anything longer than short-term. This keeps their infamous crusades rare, and ensures that they will always fall apart under their own internal divisions sooner rather than later.

Sutaks have no "true" [[cleric]]s; instead, [[wizard]]s and [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)|sorcerers]] [[Elementalist|specialized in the use of fire]] [[elementalism]] take on the role of a priest-caste, performing rituals to draw Thulkas's attention and favor or placate his wrath. Their most notable role is placing intricate ceremonial tattoos, made with molten metal rather than ink, upon the bodies of their clan's most prominent warriors; a sutak chieftain worthy of the name will sport a chest, face and arms covered with savage designs of gleaming bronze or gold, proclaiming his strength and pronouncing his devotion to Thulkas.

Sutak warriors are predominantly [[fighter]]s, although life in the desert has seen the rise of myriad desert-specialized [[ranger]]s, [[Scout (D&D)|scouts]], and even [[rogue]]s.
