[[File:Achaea_alchemist.jpg|thumb|Grooks are known for their cunning and intelligence.]] | [[File:Achaea_alchemist.jpg|thumb|Grooks are known for their cunning and intelligence.]]The '''Grook''' are a race of humanoid amphibians whose origins were a mystery. It is now known that they were created through the sacrifice of Himalia's horkval lover, [[Ortho]], within the grand lake of Bandar Selat. | ||
Following brutal enslavement, the Grooks faced a devastating civil war, leading to a catastrophic genocide at the hands of the horkvali of Kr'kach, using the psychic weapon "Black Horn". This cataclysm saw the decimation of much of their race, and the severing of their potent racial memory. | |||
In the aftermath, the survivors found refuge and a new beginning in [[Ogalla]], a village on the island of [[Ulangi]]. Here, under the care of [[Himalia]], they began to rebuild their lives and remain there to this day. | |||
Grooks are the most intelligent of the mortal races and exhibit many frog-like features. Standing around five feet tall with slender builds, their eyes are typically round or bulbous, found in all colours. Their skin ranges in hue from green to blue and from pale to dark, and their hands and feet may be webbed to varying degrees. | Grooks are the most intelligent of the mortal races and exhibit many frog-like features.
