Mahmat Troth

Mahmat Troth are purple-skinned humanoids, whose bald heads are adorned with huge ears not unlike those of elephants. The Mahmat Troth have impressively keen hearing, but so sensitive are they that they have a –4 penalty to save against any sound-based attack, and take twice normal damage if they fail. Even loud noises that would cause others no harm may cause the Mahmat Troth a –2 penalty to attacks, at the judge’s discretion. The Mahmat Troth never speak above a whisper, and view speaking louder as outrageously insulting. They find the yipping voices of the Pellas Troth not only vulgar, but so offensive that no Pellas Troth who speaks within the hearing of a Mahmat Troth may be allowed to live.

The Mahmat Troth believe that, after death, they join the Great and Eternal Silence. When they die, there is sometimes an echo of the Silence – on a 1 in 5 chance, everyone within 30’ of a Mahmat Troth when it dies is unable to speak – or make any other sound – for 1d4 hours. During this time, the creatures affected are utterly silent. The Mahmat Troth consider this a great blessing.

The Mahmat Troth reside in the mountain pass inhabited by The Black Goat and act as Her bodyguards. They consider themselves Her true followers. They have banished Catherine the Cutthroat from the pass forever due to her actions in luring the idol of the Harrower there.
