Central Pass Ngorrhali

Ngorrhali of Manalheim Minor

Alias
None
Origin
The Central Pass of Ngorrhal; now Manalheim Minor, Manalheim

Origin

The Central Pass Ngorrhali are the surviving descendants of the Central Pass, the most advanced of the four groups of Ngorrhali in the mountain passes. The Central Pass built paths through the mountains to the southeastern coast, traded with outsiders, and hunted massive sea creatures in numbers, the Shoalback among them, which gave them resources no other pass could match.

The majority of the Central Pass migrated southwest centuries before the Ngorrhali Unification Wars. Those who remained in Ngorrhal were wiped out by the Northeastern Pass, and for a long time the Central Pass was counted as destroyed. It was learned in later eras that the migrants had survived decades of drifting across uncharted islands and reached Manalheim Minor, where their descendants still live.

Physiology

They remain mountain-descended giants, physically massive and dark-eyed like every Ngorrhali line, though generations on warm volcanic ground far from the Sentinel Range have separated them from the two lineages that stayed in Ngorrhal.

Manalheim Minor

They live deliberately apart on Manalheim Minor, the smaller and wilder of Manalheim's two islands, which is kept wild for the Hunting Games. The temporary outposts raised for the Games are the only regular outside presence on the island, and the Central Pass Ngorrhali keep their distance from them. Little more about their life there is recorded, because they have never sought contact and the island is not settled or surveyed by anyone else.
