Skhal

Society and Culture
The Skhal as a people hold strongly their loyalty and purpose to the Brood Mother who layed them. They are a collectivist community whose sole purpose is to provide for the brood, by any means necessary. The capital of their populous is home to the largest and most ancient brood in all of Anora and it is said the Mother still lives to day, maker her one of the oldest living beings within the known world.

The vast majority of the population never see her as only a select few are even allowed deep within the underground home in which she dwells feasting and laying more eggs. The closest any average Skhal gets to the Brood Mother is the large pit in which food is sent down to her. The pit is so deep one cannot see the bottom even with the sun beaming right down on top of it. It lays at the center of their capital city where many citizens drop their offerings daily. Great efforts must be kept to keep the Brood Mother well fed and it is considered a great honor and duty to give daily offerings, because of this almost anything feasibly resembling food can be sent as an offering and the Brood Mother is by no means picky.
