Palan-teen

The Palan-teen were the descendants of human adventurers trapped within the Garden of the Cursed. They were descended from paladins and other martially aligned adventurers.

Overview
The palan-teen descended from paladins and good warriors who had sought to fulfill Martek's prophecies before the correct time, but who had been unable to advance past the Garden of the Cursed in the Tomb of Martek and were barred from escape. They had since developed deerlike speed and grace, fighting at a level far beyond their own. However, they were just as intellectually limited as the guilders, who called them "maddogs". They shared much of their vocabulary, and even some laws, with them, including a willingness to stone prisoners and criminals to death.

About three weeks before adventurers bearing all of the Star Gems of Martek arrived at the Garden of the Cursed, they had admitted the paladin Percivilis and made him their leader.

Legends
According to the legends of the Palan-teen, their people had been guided into the World Above by a palan-teen named Sedarik when evil was brought into Mar-tik; they had stopped the stealies (thefts) of the guilders ever since. They believed that if the doors of Grandal were open, the guilders would flee as the "great good" flowed across the universe.

Home
The palan-teen had a fortified camp, a wooden fort about square, with the brush cleared for about. They kept four guards posted on each corner, and were friendly towards anyone but the guilders.
