The Mhuns of Moghedu are very wary of outsiders, and tend to be secretive about their home and way of life. Primarily a mining community, life centres around the command of the Great Mhunna, who rules Moghedu with an iron fist, caring more for himself than his people most of the time. Yet, the Mhuns follow him without question, and one would be hard-pressed to find dissention among the Mhun ranks as those therein believe wholeheartedly in the strength of their leader. | The Mhuns of Moghedu are very wary of outsiders, and tend to be secretive about their home and way of life.

=History= | |||
The very beginnings of Moghedu's history go all the way back to the time of the [[Founders]]. The brothers [[Glanos]] and [[Sahart]], leaving [[Ceylon]] with over half of the human population, set out in search of new lands in which they might make a home. Those who were left in the [[Golden Land]] were struck just a few years later by a massive plague. Those that survived fled the city, journeying to the Mhojave and spending many years there, hoping that the extremely dry environment might purge them of the plague. After enough had died and the plague appeared to be cleansed from their bodies, the people of Ceylon searched for a place to live and found the caves, now known as Moghedu, to the southwest of the vast desert where they had survived the last few years. Many hundreds of years later Nicator stumbled upon the subterranean settlement inadvertently, re-discovering the later generations of [[Ceylon]] people much changed in appearance. Long years of living with scare food and water, and in the cramped conditions of the caves had taken their toll on the bodies of the children of the original settlers. The people of Moghedu wre much shorter, with leathery skin and gaunt bodies, and the elders, watching their children change renamed these people "Mhun", forever distinguishing them from their human relatives. | |||
