| One threat north of Torvaldsland are the Kurii. In Torvaldsland, the
term "kurii" means "beasts." Most of the kurii that
live in the north are the degenerate remnants of the kurii, those who
have gone native. They are not a part any longer of the Steel Worlds.
Many of these Kurii are white furred. They seldom hunt too far south into
Torvaldsland. The men of Torvaldsland respect and are cautious of their
power and ferocity. Thus, they usually try to warn them off instead of
kill them. They often try to send the kurii toward an enemy's lands. |
