Denizen of Leng

Travelers and raiders from the cold, windswept dimension of Leng, these malevolent human-shaped creatures range across reality in ominous black ships capable of sailing beyond the borders of dimensions and planes. Although most denizens of Leng seek conquest and riches, others operate as self-styled ambassadors and merchants, sowing discord with far-ranging plots. While the inscrutable denizens dress themselves in flowing robes, veils, and broad turbans to appear human, their aberrant physiology, when glimpsed, is evident from their crown of stubby horns and tentacled jaws to their furry, goat-like legs.

Denizens of Leng are often highly intelligent and can be found advising or nudging both the powerful and the meek alike. If there is any purpose to this beyond an individual Denizen of Leng's own interests, there has so far been no sign. Most appear to be perfectly genuine with their counsel, though generally lacking in anything resembling morality.

Above the fierce captains who command the infamous black ships is an even higher caste of denizens of Leng. These occultists and musicians serve as high priests, laboring to appease the frightening gods who look down upon the Nightmare Realm with cold malice.
