	Banderlings are the larger cousins of [[Drudge]]s and [[Mosswart]]s, all of whom are distantly related to the [[Tumerok]]. They are even less intelligent than other humanoids, but make up for this with sheer brutality. They prefer to fight in small packs, using heavy weapons or their sharp claws. On average, they stand seven feet tall, though their chiefs are even larger.

	Banderlings originate from the world the [[Tumerok]]s call [[Ezheret-Hazahtu]], although they only live on the body they call [[Ezheret]]. This requires some explanation. While a sun does rise and fall in the sky, Ezheret actually orbits another, larger planet called [[Hazahtu]]. Hazahtu, or “The Blind Eye,” is an enormous, cloud-shrouded grey-blue orb. Ezheret is hot, humid, and prone to extended periods of foul weather. Gales and hurricanes are frequent, perhaps due to the unusual sparseness of dry land.<ref name=AC:DMBestiaryTumerok>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM_CD_Lore/Bestiary/Derethian_Bestiary#Tumeroks\|Bestiary: Tumeroks]]</ref> Ezheret is a moon world capable of supporting several species.
