Sarcophaga

The Sarcophaga are a large confederation of Myacoris who live primarily off of rotting matter and corpses. Their body temperatures are too low to be infected with many of the different and strange pathogens they carry. They often follow tribes who are doomed for disaster, and having a Sarcophaga tribe live near you means you're either close to resources and treasure or close to death.

• Closer to the Raudan and Ghealas border are more friendly with them and have a trading relationship
• The Gannwyll Gwydd see their resistence to miasma and keen senses of smell as beneficial and so tend to pay them more respect than the Kubeleya
• The Myacoris make up a large part of the mining community in the borderlands and even further into Ghealas and Rhudd, as they take payment in materials to bring back to their communities, and appreciate that the Gannwyll Gwydd are harsh but hospitable
