Humanoid ratmen Curst
The continuing expansion of Belamir and dwindling of the Desolation drove the Slitheren, or Ratmen, north-east and into the Tainted Forest. Only then were their numbers, versatility and ferocity apparent. Hemmed in by the dwarves, elves, orcs and Erlyid, they proved impossible to dislodge and made the southern Tainted Forest their own.
