More ideas have been popping into my head of late, this time it was backstory crap for my character Nerash in our so-called Dungeon Hack 2nd Edition game. As I've said before, I really can't just create a throwaway character. Its just not in me to do so. Thus, Nerash had a solid backstory before play even began, and I keep coming up with more stuff. The short bits below are essentially fables or myths from the backstory of the Gnolls. I don't care if the GM uses them or not, or whether or not they turn out to be true; they were kinda fun to write. PLEASE read these and critique! I won't get better without input!

I wanna do a few about the EVIL Gnolls as well, but I have a real hard time trying to wrap my brain around what fables and 'heroic' tales would be like for a race that is very definitely evil. Anyway, here they are- but first, some terms.
