Grunty Race
Having lost their wisdom, humans brought war and chaos to the world.
They had been reduced to creatures concerned only with domination, and so they commenced to make war on all the other races.
Sol gazed down in sadness at the ruined earth and decided to use the goodness that he had taken from the elves to create the race of Grunties. He dispatched them to return peace to the world.
But the gods were afraid that the Grunties would suffer the same flaw as the elves and voiced objections to Sol’s action.
And so, Sol cast a curse upon the Grunties and proclaimed: “Listen carefully to me. I have cast a spell on you. It is a curse and a magic word is its key. If someone, even just one person on this earth says this word, a terrible calamity will befall on all of you.”
The Grunties beseeched him, “Great lord, when this calamity occurs, how are we to escape it?” Sol nodded his head an answered: “You must not oppress others. You must not be bitter. You must not be envious. Have a good and pure heart and live your days peacefully.”
The secret word was told to all gods and all creatures except for humans. The gods were satisfied and the Grunties were sent down to earth.
Without shedding a drop of blood, the Grunties stopped the violence of the humans. Overjoyed, the gods created magical powers and gave it to the Grunties. But even with such great power, the Grunties did not fall prey to the sin of pride.
