Estai

The shakoten are a race of degenerate humanoids who live in underground caverns and are known to be cannibals. They live in the ruins of dwarven cities, and some believe they are possessed by the spirits of fallen dwarven warriors. Among other places, shakoten tribes can be found in the sewers of large cities, and also in the crypts and catacombs of ancient temples—although they are careful to avoid the temples themselves. While most shatoken live in small tribal villages in or around ruins, some choose to abandon their cultic faith and seek adventure beyond the caverns from which they hail, though such individuals are extremely rare.

Shakoten are red-eyed humanoid's often with disturbing tribal tattoos covering their faces. Their jagged teeth appear to have been filed down to points. They also tend to be thin, agile and stand tall compaired to other humanoids.
