Lashemoi
Lashemoi are the drudge workers, low-ranking warriors, and servitors of ushemoi society. Though lashemoi typically toil under the direction of arkamoi and hadrimoi leaders, turlemoi sometimes gather lashemoi to them as hunters, scouts, and expendable advance troops. Without leadership, lashemoi keep to themselves. Though they attack other creatures for food and treasure, they are meek, cowardly, and easily driven off. Lashemoi avoid standup fights even against weaker foes and are typically content to take potshots at soft, easy targets.
Lashemoi have a natural connection to their ushemoi brethren, but they are just as likely to be found in the service of ogre mages, hobgoblin chieftains, evil clerics, and the like. Other ushemoi refer to lashemoi as "mongrels", not because of their heritage, but for the lashemoi's tendency to follow any charismatic creature.
