Editing Sutak (section)

==The Redeemed==
Like the [[Asaatthi]], [[Manticora]] and [[Slitherin]], the Sutaks gained a prominent position in the [[Scarred Lands]] 2nd edition campaign guide; with a significant portion of their race having denounced their Titan creators and made peace with the normal races, these Redeemed sutaks, called Ironbred, are a playable race.

The hulking ironbred are taller than most humans, as well as brawnier. An ironbred has an emaciated, horselike head and a harsh braying voice. The creature’s two legs are also like a horse’s from the knee down, with backward-canted heels that lead down to hooves. The rest is akin to the body of a beefy human. An ironbred has short fur, ranging from brown-black to rust-colored, or in some cases dappled, but ironbred dye, tattoo, and even scarify themselves in elaborate, personalized patterns. Most ironbred prefer clothing that other races see as garish, such as the feathered half-capes that are currently popular in the Iron Court.

Ironbred reject their sutak names completely as part of their oath of redemption. They take on titles or names of their choosing, often absorbing them from among the cultures in which they find themselves. They love to work colors into their names (for example, Iridescia, Red Ixis, or Malachite Jho). 

The Iron Court is the most notable society of ironbred in Ghelspad. Although slow to trust, the ironbred cherish loyalty and thus take great care in their interactions with outsiders. Another prominent group of ironbred are the Iron Riders, a cavalry unit based out of the Gleaming Valley; descended from Divine War captives of the sutak, these converts to Corean are often found with [[Hollow Legionnaire]]s. Many other ironbred are hermits, solitary travelers, or wanderers content to blend into city-states that care more for trade itself than the race or ethnicity of those who do business there.

Ironbred dread the hatred that comes when they are confused for sutak, for they know all too well that such hatred is justifiable. They are often relieved to find they are merely feared or mistrusted by others, for they know those attitudes can be changed with extended interaction. As for the savage sutak themselves, the ironbred loathe them universally. Captured sutak are offered a single chance to recant Thulkas before being put down like rabid beasts.

Ironbred are defined by the moment they rejected Thulkas, a fact that affords them complicated views on religion. Some are wary of ever again placing their faith in any primordial or divine being. Others find a profound connection to a god that was never possible when they were thralls of the Iron Lord. As a whole, ironbred are tolerant of whatever deity their fellows might worship — “each to your own divine” is a very common ironbred saying — but titan worship is anathema. In particular, honoring the Iron Titan is a blasphemy worthy only of a swift death. Ironbred who follow a particular god have similar alignments to that god, like most worshipers, and the rest of them tend toward neutral alignments.

Those ironbred who travel without ironbred companions are seen as equal parts courageous and mad by their fellows. Ironbred adventurers take great pains to ensure they are not confused with the vile sutak. Fortunately for them, they often find that the further they travel from the Ukrudan, the less people know of the reputation of the vicious titanspawn.
