The Trox are a large species descended from arthropods. Those that dwell on the Livaran moon of Nchak serve the mortal incarnation of the goddess Hylax. They despise slavery and seek to guide and protect those that they can.
Though somewhat humanoid in appearance, Trox are descended from arthropods, magically transformed by Hylax herself (some say). Be sure to take this into account when creating Trox names!

Irkus
Irkus is a guard. He guards one of the many gates of Nchak. It is a holy duty. It is an honorable duty. It is also a very boring duty. So he drinks perhaps a bit more than he should. He does not perhaps ask as many questions as he should. Someday, someone dangerous might slip past him.
