Though lacking strength, the excellent agility of Ratonga often has
them becoming Scouts. They are also quick students of magic.
The Ratonga are a race of rodent humanoids about the height of a
Dwarf. Their bodies are covered in thick hair, and they have long
furless tails. Their eyes are small and beady, best suited for the
dark. Ratonga are a somewhat weak race, their armor most often made
of hides or light chain mail forged of rare alloys. They prefer to
lurk in the shadows and remain unseen: whatever they don is usually
made to be silent and blend in with the darkness.
Little is known of the Ratonga's background. The race was first
encountered in the Age of War; Ratonga guides aided Freeport
Militia troop movements through subterranean tunnels to the Desert
of Ro, allowing supplies and troops to move while the great city
was under a long siege. After the encounter, the Ratonga vanished
back into the depths they were found in, and they did not
reappear for ages, until the massive earthquakes of the Rending
began to rip the continent of Antonica into pieces. Rumors surfaced
that the Ratonga were a tribe of rat-men related to the Chertari of
Dragon Necropolis, a theory that the Ratonga themselves seemed to
encourage. However, it quickly became clear that these new arrivals
were an order of magnitude more intelligent than the Chertari,
leading many to speculate that the race's origins might lie in the
Underfoot itself. On this subject, the Ratonga say nothing.
The Ratonga often emblazon a symbol on their chest. This symbol is
always the same, whatever it may mean.
They show no spiritual inclinations, with no outward worship
of any known deity. What transpires in the shadows when the Ratonga
congregate is unknown.
