Hyena

People of the Plains.

Also known as the laughing men although they are a highly matriarchal society. They believe when all war and rivalries are done, they will one day rule over the ruins (similar to the Dragon in that respect).

It is thought among the people of the Hyena that laughing is an apt response to most things. i.e. A child seeks comfort in difficult times; an adult laughs.

The laughing men don't so much worship their god as challenge and bargain with him/her. They are not thought of so much as cruel but a little mad, dynamic and unique. They are survivors.
