Homeland and Culture
Emerging from their half-hidden isle home in the Howling Islands and the massive karst formations that guard the islands, the Molg ply the waters in search of very dangerous prey, dragons! They are a fierce primitive tribe whose culture and even religious beliefs are woven into the hunting and killing of these massive and ancient beasts.
The Molg are descendants of Murians, even they do not know how long they have dwelt upon their island home. Some Molg are originally outlanders captured at a young age and raised as part of the tribe, a few are escaped criminals, slaves from other lands adopted into the tribe for particular skills, usually ferocity and fighting abilities.
The Molg are a male dominated society, most women exist to raise the young and tend to crops, stock, any mundane tasks. The men are steeped from youth in the harsh credo of the hunt and the kill - preferably of dragons or at least skrill. But they are raiders too and will seldom pass by targets of opportunity. On occasion they might deal in the slave trade but more along the lines of hostages of value than wholesale captures and sales of expendable folk.
Theirs is not a money economy, they have no coinage, and often understand little if anything about the currencies of the more developed lands of Aereth. They are more likely to barter for items they might need or use that are not easily available for them. To the Molg nothing is more valuable and indeed desired than possession of dragon’s eyes. Obviously they are very very difficult to acquire as killing a dragon is a near impossible feat, yet it can be done. The Molg have done it. These eyes are wanted by users of arcane magic and will become eager customers should the Molg gain a pair…or even one.
Now this obsession with dragons has many drawbacks for the Molg. They have never been a large populous tribe there on their small isle in the middle of nowhere but hunting dragons has been a very serious drain on their population, especially the males. Losses are constant, it is a dangerous lifestyle, and occasionally disastrous even if an entire ship goes down or is consumed along with crew by dragon’s flames. To make up for the lack of numbers, it is common for crews to include boys, old men, and even a few adventurous (and fiercely determined) women. Yet there has never been any thought among the Molg to abandon this lifestyle. A few of the more civilized historians liken it to a death cult. Like the Molg have ever cared what outsiders think of them.
