Not all of the soldiers who fought for Arethyr in the First Great War were created by the jealous god, Helyos. Some of those warriors were turned to the side of evil. The Gnole were some of the Great Mother's most loyal followers. Expert trackers who would be sent out to find and rescue those in need, a group of these animalians were captured by the God of War's forces. Twisted and tortured, this gang of Gnole trackers eventually forgot the teachings of Selyne and the natural instincts of their race to become Arethyr's most vicious hunters, tracking down his enemies and dispatching them with ruthless efficiency. Led by the cruel Mwindajii, this group became known as the "Cacklers". While the peaceful Gnole are one of the races that has long since disappeared from Mythoss, rumors persist of a pack of Cacklers who still roam the wastelands, hunting any who are unlucky enough to cross their path.
