A rather reclusive people, they tend to inhabit the dark tunnels deep below the mountains and are occasionally seen in the company of their Stoneborn brethren. They are often employed as guards and hired muscle, and are seen as a status symbol to have them within your personal retinue. Like most other Stoneborn, they are often stoic people, saving their merriment for the mead halls and for times of celebration. 

The exact origins of the Horned Ones is a matter of much debate. Ancient texts speak of a mighty curse that was laid upon the Stoneborn by an unnamed foe, although some believe it to be the Ar-Nura, which caused half of a generation to be born with the bestial horns, and all of their descendants to bear the curse. Another, darker story circulates that a clan of Stoneborn dug to the roots of a mountain and either made a terrible pact for power or had children with an unknown race that remains hidden from the world above.
