HISTORICAL INFORMATION
With the creation of different Eshkin tribes, came clan Wraithclaw a secretive and reserved collection of rat-men that preferred to operate in the shadow, even more than most of their kin. These vermin as all vermin had representative warriors that reflected the clan's preferences. Thus the Dusk Prowlers an ancient unit was established as the spearhead of the clan Wraithclaw. In the battle of the Bamberg, these ratmen were nowhere to be seen, of course, this might have been due to their stealth skills. Others say the Dusk Prowlers were fahr of raiding villages and attacking supply chains heading to the Bamberg. Where these vermin actually acted no one knows, not even the Clan leaders of the Wraithclaw.
