Description
Variable Edge's Amantha Ryndel

An updated outfit, distributing the detail some more, and moving her closer to her more upbeat nature.

Note how her gauntlets allow her to use weapons that are either handheld or mounted on the gauntlets themselves.

===============
The Kyurin

Formerly a nomadic race of humans found in the Wilds, the Kyurin were known as a hunter/gatherer society, though they traded with the peoples they encountered throughout their travels.

The Kyurin were particularly known for their expertise in hunting and exterminating the different magically enhanced monsters in the Wilds, and feeding on the meat-- a practice that was abhorred by the One Church and its followers. Though the Church was not openly hostile to the Kyurin, they still regarded them as heathens and barbarians.

Consumption of the monster's flesh imbued the Kyurin with the strength and speed that allowed them to continue their hunts. It was said that a single Kyurin man was equal to a platoon of knights in battle.

The adage would be later tested when the Kyurin were sentenced to extermination by the ruling Empire, having become as feral and dangerous as the prey they originally hunted. The War of the Plains would consume the land with fire and steel, and the Kyurin would disappear from the land...

...save one.
