Lore by Tsavo

Akila's husband is an able trader who had to deal with his fair share of highwaymen. Initially, he thought Akila was going to be another one. Unhappy with his luck as he saw a 7'5" female gnoll waiting by the old bridge underpass he thought no one else would use.

Instead, he found that she had the bodies of two robbers impaled on young, sheared trees as if they were spears growing from the earth. And offered her services as security for a fair wage.

Most female gnolls remain in the lands of their people. Fulfilling many of the roles that are required to run their way of life. Males are required to leave and prove themselves in feats and experience before they are allowed to return home and marry. But some females choose this path as well. Seeking life outside of their tribe. Some even desirous to forge one of their own; fusing the ways of her people with that of her husbands to create a new evolution of tradition that may find greater success over what has been.

Now, Akila mostly runs things at her husbands estate while he is away on important trade missions, with her personally certified security escorts. Ruling with an unwavering commitment to its survival and prosperity. Now learned in much of the ways of civilization, even if her often unsmiling, predatory eyes don't reflect it.
