A teleportation gate opened, from which emerged the figure of Jiu Mokong.
Hoo-hoo!
The cold wind was biting, and he had already found himself within a massive glacier.
Atop this glacier, there stood a palace seemingly built of piled crystals.
The lofty doors resembled the entrance to a giant's realm, clearly not designed for humanoid inhabitants.
Beneath the glacier, through numerous narrow caves, bands of Dog-head Men and Jackalmen were venturing out hunting, forging, training...
Some of the Dog-head Men even bore white scales upon their bodies.
—Dragon-transformed Gnolls!
The Dog-head Men were the race most devout in their worship of Giant Dragons; it was said their bodies carried a trace of Dragon Blood, hence Warlocks were common among them.
And Dog-head Men who lived alongside Giant Dragons, influenced over the years or even blessed with Dragon Blood Baptism, would acquire traits of draconic beasts!
"Awoo!"
