Ghost Paws

The Ghost Paws was a bellicose tribe of the Nezumi race, fierce warriors who preferred stealing from the Crab rather than scavenging through Shadowlands filth. The Ghost Paws grew fond of the better things and the tribe traveled beyond the Kaiu Wall to raid a town, which revealed as dwelled by veteran bushi. The samurai drove them into an empty storage building and shut them in. The samurai set fire to the building, and the only nezumi who escaped were those who fled over the burning wood as the walls collapsed, burning their paws. Those who survived formed the Burnt Paws tribe, a cowardly tribe by their own admission.
