Fierce and feral, the first gnolls were hyenas infused with malefic power by archfiends of war and the wild. They were created as cruel soldiers to serve in the endless conflicts of fiends, but over the course of countless generations a number of gnoll clans broke their ties to their demon overlords. These free gnolls are fiercely loyal to their pack and their clan, and serve as a stabilizing force within Droaam.
Gnolls that are bound to the overlords are vicious and wild. Those who have escaped this bondage still have a fiendish spark within, but they contain and control this power. Some learn to wield it as Warlocks. Others known as hwyri train to fight demons and other supernatural threats. Even free gnolls can be aggressive, but they are gifted hunters and fiercely loyal to those they choose as family.
