The drow clad in armour composed completely of bone
stands behind the squad of scarred, terrifying warriors,
directing them as they attack. Though he seems to be
simply another drow, there is something about his bearing
and appearance that seems alien, as though the bloodline
that begat him was not merely mortal in origin.
The ruling class of Kanahraun far more sophisticated
than the lower class. It is from this class that the priests,
sorcerers and wizards of the feral drow come. They rule
over the lower class with an iron fist, controlling all aspects
of life among the feral drow.
The members of the ruling class are descended from those
drow with whom Azzanoth the Glutton mated when he
lived among the drow. Though they have lost many of the
obvious physical indicators of their demonic heritage, the
strength of Azzanoth’s bloodline is undiminished.
Combat
The ruling class of the Kanahraun prefer to let the lower
class do their fighting for them, but they are still terrible
foes when they do engage an enemy. They will let the
barbarians of the lower class charge into melee, remaining
safely behind their subjects to pepper the enemy with spells
or ranged weapons. Kanahraun of the ruling class almost
always carry boneforged items (see page 188).
Smite Good (Su): Once per day the ruling class Kanahraun
can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal
to its level (maximum of +20) against a good foe.
Kanahraun Traits – Upper Class (Ex): The upper class
of the Kanahraun are the descendants of the dark elves
with whom Azzanoth the Glutton mated when he lived
with the Kanahraun. Though many generations have
passed since that time, such is the infernal power of the
Glutton’s bloodline that the upper class of the Kanahraun
are still considered to be half-fiends (see MM, Half-Fiend).
They have, however, lost many of the external physical
attributes commonly associated with half-fiends, making
it more difficult to tell them apart from the lower class of
Kanahraun with a casual glance. For example, do not have
wings, claws or scales, though their natural attacks with fist
and bite still count as magical attacks. The most common
physical signs of the demonic heritage of the Kanahraun
upper class are small horns, fangs and glowing eyes. The
traits of the Kanahraun ruling class reflect a mix of drow
and half-fiend traits.
