Ondonti

Odonti are a rare breed of fey orcs brought up to be pacifists.

History
They were first discovered by a Zhent scouting party in 1340 DR living in an isolated part of the Tortured Land. They lived in 15 scattered tribes and due to their pacifist nature, 14 of those tribes were quickly captured by Zhentilar raiders and taken to the Citadel of the Raven to be used as slaves. The final tribe left was said to have been guarded by a divine servant of Eldath, whom all of the tribes worshiped and the divine magic of Odonti clerics.

Before their capture, the Odontis taught their young, via oral tradition that 30 of their kind were brought to their ancestral homeland by a group known as "the Founders" and were taught the tenets of Eldath's faith in the form of the Tarek-Passar (the Way of Peace).

Society
Magic that causes harm was taboo and they would rather die themselves than kill another sentient being. The only time killing occured in Odonti society is in the case of food or if a creature was incurably insane or diseased.

The captured Odonti were used as slaves. They are powerfully built and not at all unruly, so could be relied upon to work well with only light supervision. A selective breeding and training program was also attempted where Odonti young were raised among the mountain orc soldiers of the Citadel and trained as fighters. While the shift in moral outlook was mostly successful, it was not known what the results of this program were.

Magic
As already mentioned, harmful magic was taboo among the tribal odonti. Almost all odonti magic-users were clerics of Eldath who prayed for defensive and curative spells. Due their fey nature, every odonti also had the ability to cast sanctuary, purify food and drink, barkskin and tree shape.
