Homebrew Free Gnoll Species Details
By some means wither it be group of clerics or paladins, a wish come true, or the power of a god or divine, some Gnolls have been freed from Yeenoghu's hold and whispers and now can live their lives however they wish. Some may stay as hunters helping protect towns from beasts or to gather food, some may join cities or caravans as guards, other may stay as chaotic or evil taking up roles as thieves or assassins, and some try to learn magic other than what Yeenoghu gave them, or just settle down and raise a family, take up jobs like anyone else, whatever it may be it is up to them to decide for themselves now.
Free Gnoll Names
Free Gnolls may still use names they had while others might try and use names of other races that they have learned to fit in better with the community they are living with, as normal Gnoll names tend to be hard to say for non-gnolls and it is hard for non-gnolls to tell their genders apart.
