Homebrew Khmet (Anubis Gnolls) Species Details

The Khmet are a species of Gnoll with jackal-like, slender frames and long limbs.  Hailing from the deserts of the New World, they adhere to ancient traditions centered around death and afterlife.  Khmet are fond of wearing items made of gold and brass.  Nearly all Khmet worship Niheris, the ruler of the Spectral Realm, and his daughter Charsiti, who ferries the souls of the dead across The River.  It is believed by many that the afterlife of those Khmet who have been loyal servants is rewarded with joining the crew of the ferry on its grim voyage for all eternity.
