In any case, by the year 1111 in the continental history, the Wolf People and the Gnolls had become a symbiotic group.
Each party took what they needed from the other.
Oh, yes, all the legends regarding the Gnolls invariably included stories about the Gnolls and candles...
They lived underground and needed illumination, thus the first candle to bring light into this world was crafted by the Gnolls.
Even the proudest of the elves could not deny this fact.
It could be said that the Gnolls brought the first glimmer of light into the unsettling darkness of this world. This was their greatest, and perhaps only, contribution to the world.
In Gnoll society, the candle is a symbol of status and position. They would always place their favorite candle on top of their heads, only lighting it when necessary.
