Marrutact
A people known as the marru once lived and warred in the world, but their civilization has long since passed into the waste, devastated and destroyed by internecine wars of terrible magnitude. As a result of these so-called Flesh Wars, the marru turned to a little-understood art called spawncraft, and in so doing created living weapons to wage their battles. These spawncrafted creatures have come to be known collectively as the spawn of marru, but are more commonly referred to as marruspawn. The marru were advanced in other areas as well, but all their arts couldn't save them from destroying themselves. However, marruspawn linger on in forgotten and blasted wastelands across many worlds.
The marrutact commands by birthright, ordering the lesser marruspawn subraces as it desires. The sign of a marrutact's authority is the staff it wields, a symbol of the forgotten spawncraft lore that raised desert jackals to a race of intelligent creatures of amazing ability. Lesser marruspawn rarely question the decrees of a marrutact, though among themselves marrutacts scheme and argue, each eager to put itself forward as the supreme commander of all surviving marruspawn.
