-The inhabitants of the area around Lake Crimin appear to have no Dendel stripes, a characteristic which they share with many unscrupulous members of Ghyllian Society, who paint themselves such in order to avoid recognition. It is theorized that in actuality, all 3 Bands just happen to be green, but it isn’t certain. If so, it would be the only example of three stripes of the same color.

		+	Dendel’s stripes are a set of 3 bands on a Ghyllian’s Carapace, differing significantly in color from the green that makes up the rest of the carapace.

They can instantly mark someone as a stranger, though relying on them for identification is dangerous, leading to mishaps. 30 members of the ill-fated Kortayal Trading Expedition stumbled into Iganafta, and were all slaughtered because one of their members had was sworn to have Dendel’s stripes exactly like those of the dwellers of the Evesque Valley. It turns out that the man had mistaken one stripe of white for a stripe of blonde. The apologies Iganafta offered were not very well received by the company, which summarily collapsed before it could send off a nasty letter in response.
