Durin

In the Northern Reach lies the province of Alsace. Centuries ago it was believed that a tribe of mutants dwelt in that region, farming the harsh land and remaining relatively to themselves.

However when human settlers moved up from the south they were quick to persecute the mutants and forced them off the land and down into the Barren-Lands. And there it is believed they remains for decades, seething and waiting for a time to return.

Shortly after the Dragoon Invasion their time seemingly came and these mutants, referred to by the locals as “Durin” pushed in from the Barren-Lands into Alsace. Butchering the human population they moved steadily southward until they threatened wealthy corporate landowners. As a result White Horse is sent in to stop the mutant horde but the Durin proved more capable and ruthless than was expected.

During their exile in the Barren-Lands the Durin made slaves of a race of even more mutated beings collectively called “Shriven”. When they return to Alsace they bring these Shriven with them, losing them on the populace with savage results.
