Gwaelic Elven) - Gwaelic or social trolls,

             
Homo neanderthalensis gwaelii R
., heavy bodied
             
hominids, indigenous to the Eastern

             
Continent. They have a vastly expanded visual
             
cortex, giving them a large occipital bun

             
at the base of their skull. They hunt in groups,
             
exclusively at night. They are quite adept

             
at making crude wooden hafted and shafted
             
stone tools such as knives, mauls and spears.

             
They do not make, nor have they been seen to
             
make use of such devices as bows and

             
atlatls or fluid holding vessels. They have life-
             
long pair bonds and share in the rearing of

             
their young in a human-like manner, unlike their
             
cousins, the Jutish trolls,
Homo

             
neanderthalensis jutlandii R
. Though they
             
frequently make temporary shelters of animal
             
skins, they prefer large caverns and rocky
             
recesses able to shelter extended family

             
groups. They possess true language, though the
             
only language of theirs which is known

             
lacks some of the discrete parts of speech
             
common to most human languages. It is far

             
more sonorous and nasal sounding than any
             
known human language.
