pronounced Ah-kun-rah-see

Long ago, in the darkness beneath the mountains, the Stoneborn known as the Akhunrasi sought to become like great spiders, weaving webs to bind the world together. It was in the darkness, among the things that skitter under the world that their people spent countless ages, only recently emerging to once again join their Stoneborn cousins.

The Akhunrasi compose themselves in strange ways. They tend to avoid having their bare flesh exposed to the scorching rays of the sun, and would rather remain in darkened places when possible. While not entirely silent as others would believe, they speak only when necessary, and would rather speak to individuals or small gatherings, rather than large crowds. 

All children of the great web are driven by curiosity, seeking to learn as much as they can. They often bring their findings back to the clutches of other Akhunrasi, and share their knowledge with one another… although they seek to maintain secrecy from others, even going as far as to avoid answering questions directly. One old adage is “Never expect a straight answer from an Akhunrasi.”

Costuming Requirements: Dark clothing, hoods, stray bits of webbing and perhaps fake spiders. Also, choose one from the following list – additional prosthetic eyes, monstrous hands (shown by gloves), monstrous feet (crafted by shoes), or some other representation of being part-spider.
