Banglas

The banglas are a species of humanoid spiders that live in the city of Sviatia, named for their home world deep within the Saloothian Forest. Banglas walk on all eight legs though they can support themselves on less. Each of the banglas’ eight hands has spinnerets on its palm that produces silk by touch. Most banglas no longer hunt though and usually just use their silk to get around the forest. Within the massive cave where Sviatia lays the banglas have large herds of nocturnal animals that feed the city. Some do hunt for sport though or practice hunting to keep them in sharp. The Sviatia military has slowly started incorporating weapons into its training. This is due to attacks from the tymroc who have rained their fire magic down on many banglas over the years. Most of the soldiers though just use a pair of daggers and maybe a crossbow or rifle. Soldiers are trained in vongni-ru, a martial art utilizing their unique body design. While it is rare banglas do leave the forest and have been known to take up residence in cities of industry. Banglas may be fighters, gunmen, and monks.

When the tribal leader of a village dies the prospective future leaders of the tribe gather their husbands for the vishaus ritual. Their husbands are placed in the houngard or warrior pit to do unarmed combat. The wife of the winner becomes the new leader of the tribe. The houngard is also used for the rite of passage.
