Editing Doombearers (section)

==History==
During the Long Night, the time period when magic disappeared, Doombearers fought against the horrors that took advantage of magic's absence with their powers.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/10/24/9-63/ Chapter 9.63]</ref>

Long ago, Doombearers presumably led the Kingdom of Gnolls to ruin. For this, the [[Plain’s Eye Tribe|Plain's Eye Tribe]] vowed to hunt them down, and appointed themselves as custodians of their luck-manipulating powers. They merged the souls of the Doombearers they killed into a Daemon of Luck, bound to the Chieftain to use as they saw fit.

They also started to spread tales that their fur turned white because they caused misfortune, rather than surviving it. They spread tales among Gnoll tribes that they only bring doom, and called them Doombringers. They even suppressed information to the contrary, destroying a Gnoll library to push their narrative and hide the truth. Eventually, "Doombringers" became feared and reviled amongst Gnolls

As white Gnolls and their children were hunted down by Doomslayers, they had to hide or leave [[Izril]] to survive. In [[Salazsar]], there is a group of nearly three dozens, organized by individuals acting under codenames.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/18/8-31/ Chapter 8.31]</ref>

At the latest Meeting of the Tribes, the truth about Doombearers was brought to light as well as the complicity of the Plain's Eye Tribe in hiding the truth.<ref name=":0" /> A battle broke out between the tribes, but ultimately the Daemon was released from its servitude and disappeared, and the leaders of Plain's Eye perished. Shaman [[Ulcreziek]] made a deal with [[Belavierr Donamia|Belavierr]] to save his tribe before he died, and she fulfilled it by turning the remaining members' fur white.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-85/ Chapter 8.85]</ref>

How Doombearers are perceived did not improve much immediatly after the event, as white fur was then associated with the Plain's Eye and their treachery. The untrained and traumatised Plain's Eye remnants accidentally caused misfortune round the site of the Meeting of the Tribes.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/17/9-07/ Chapter 9.07]</ref>
