Bestial/Monstrous Races

Within Zhen Gho are races of all types, sizes, shapes, and homes. The nation being so large has people from all over within it's borders, and attracts a fair number of immigrants from neighboring nations across the ocean. It truly is the melting pot of Zennith. With that comes those from what is considered the more monstrous races. This would include Goblins, Orcs, Hobgoblins. were creatures, and others of this nature. While it is true that in most cases of banditry, outland attacks, and evil uprisings the primary races that make up those forces are monstrous races, it is not limited to them. In the last fifty or so years that this has been happening a deep resentment has begin to grow towards those races. In fact in some places it has turned into outright violence. Almost all the cases those that began the violence have come to justice and been made to pay the price for there actions. But corruption does exist, even in the mighty nation of Zhen Gho.

The greatest example of this lately has been in Inkonai, the capital city of the Shangang Province. Due to this city being a prime hub for adventurerers and having a lot of space around that is not yet utilized there is tremendous pressure on the monstrous races. When adventurers go out to fulfil contracts it is Goblins and Hobgoblins they meet. When a caravan is attack on the road Orcs are leading the charge. It has caused a quite tense situation within and nearby the city. This is especially true because of the person known only as the Rhino. They seem to be gathering and organizing those races into a mighty force. There are rumors that they are going to march on Inkonai but most everyone are quite confident in the Governor's police and the Republican Army detachment there.

Culture

Shared customary codes and values

Many of the monstrous races have a shared history of either oppression or being oppressors against the government of Zhen Gho. Most of them have history as being a army force for a much larger evil. Some even have the background of being the dominant race in a nation that opposed and fought Zhen Gho for many years. This makes adapting to Zhen Gho life, or even trying to earn a living respectfully very difficult and met with harsh criticism.

Common Myths and Legends

The most recent is that of the Rhino. They seem to be a figure very important to the downtrodden of the monstrous races. They are gathering around them and invoking their name for the purpose of breaking chains and barriers they are being held behind. It is unclear whether this will turn into violence or into a more peaceful social reform.
