Venari Bonesmith

Banished from below 4 of 5 - Over the past several decades, there has been a bitter feud between the venari people and the Dream Warden, who rules the Underworld realm. The Dream Warden collects the bodies and souls of dream criminals from all over the world, confining them in an elaborate prison of illusions that resembles a dream. When the Dream Warden's territory became overfull of prisoners, he began expanding into the Strite and interfering with the daily lives of the venari. The venari are fighters and not the type to be bullied, so they resisted the loss of their valuable land.

For nearly 30 years, an underground war took place between the Dream Warden's nightmare forces and the venari people from below. The Dream Warden was ultimately victorious, but he had to sacrifice the captivity of every one of his prisoners to find that victory. All in a moment, he released their minds and bodies, but not before implanting a single thought into their waking consciousnesses: The venari must be banished to the surface.

In an overwhelming flood of the most ruthless maniacal prisoners in the Planet's history, the entire venari race was run out of the Strite last year. Hundreds of thousands of venari refugees marched through the open gate of Monster Mountain into a new world. They carried very little in terms of possessions, but they had protected the venari tech that allowed them to harness the magical powers of the Planet.
