Editing Slitherin (section)

===Daywalker Tribe===
Of all Slitheren, Daywalkers' existence has perhaps changed most from their days as nocturnal vermin. They once spent their days sheltering from the desert heat, emerging only at night to ferret out drying and decaying carcasses to eat. Now, as ratmen, Daywalkers stride under the burning wasteland sun in tribute to the titan [[Thulkas]], whom they venerate. These ratmen tribes gather around the smoldering embers that were scattered when [[Corean]] forged the Father of Fire into an arrow before [[Tanil]] then fired the titan into the sun. Indeed, the Daywalkers believe that all deserts of the Scarred Lands were created where such sparks landed, which may be true, for these Slitheren are found in most arid lands.

The transformation that created Daywalkers resulted more from magic than from feasting upon titan remains. They gained supernatural capabilities from the burning embers around which their tribes emerged. To this day, each tribe feeds Thulkas' fire by gathering all wood and combustible materials they can find in the wastes, in tribute to their master. Seasoned desert travelers who see light on the night horizon know to avoid it, for fear that the ratmen may try to use ''them'' to fuel Thulkas' rage.

These sun-bleached Slitheren gain their name for foregoing their nightly existence and honoring their new lord by traveling under the sun by day, so that he may see them, know they worship him and take solace in his imprisonment. Daywalking is not pleasant to these vermin, however, and they often wrap themselves in strips of cloth and gauze, even if for psychological rather than physical comfort from the burning heat.
