The Moranth appear as armored riders whose black visors and raincapes conceal nearly everything human about them. Mounted on Quorls with delicate, skin-thin wings and long, many-hued tails, they carry heavy packs and an air of disciplined purpose. One black-armoured warrior speaks through a hinged helmet in a voice that sounds hollow and faintly echoed, deepening the mystery surrounding the people behind the armor.
Description
A Moranth warrior is wrapped in black armor, with a black chitin visor and a hinged helmet that hide the face in shadow. A dark raincape falls over the armor, and heavy packs add to the impression of a traveler prepared for arduous journeys. The warrior’s silhouette is severe and difficult to read, while the voice is described as hollow and faintly echoing. Moranth riders are associated with Quorls, creatures with skin-thin wings and long, multihued tails.
