	Not that Gnolls are stupid. Far from it. The Gnolls of Lindwurm have learned to let caravans with a certain mark pass, as long as tribute is paid. Gnolls of Vilous earn their foreign coin by renting themselves out as mercenaries, imitating the ~~Sergals~~ who pioneered the idea. Next to the raptor-shark grin of Sergal spearmen, there are few sights more disheartening than the smirk of hungry Gnolls wielding weapons looted from their fallen victims.

	Every race has subjects they don't talk about. The topic for gnolls would be ~~these~~ crazed creatures. Nighttime is an intoxicating time for Gnolls, and some fall victim to it. They lose control of themselves and begin tearing into whatever confronts them. Their madness allows them to ignore terrible injury, and go without food or water for weeks.

	The closest thing the Gnolls have to a knightly order is the inter-tribal organization called the Ghost Faces, who take it as their duty to exterminate these menaces. They cover their faces with white clay, and notoriously never laugh. This is almost as disconcerting for the snarky Gnolls as the insane rampages of the Laughing Ones.
