 Khellin are highly carnivorous and are unable to survive on a vegetarian diet. They possess large scooped claws which are amazing for digging through earth and ice, and have special molars that allow them to rip apart meat or carrion that has been frozen solid.

 ==Description==
 '''Khellin''' are the oldest subspecies of [[Pendragon]]. This ancient and mystical race, known for their exemplary prowess in [[Machina Technology]], [[Enchanting]], [[Dream Weaving]], [[Jewellery]], [[Smithing]], [[Technical Engineering]], [[Sculpting]], [[Architecture]], and [[Alchemy]], are native to the frigid [[Trilok]] continent. Originally Khellin were thought to have been born from the frozen mountain earth, as they would often spring forth from their subterranean labyrinthine mega-cities to surprise foes.

 * [[Genealogy:Adamaint|Adamaint]]: Perhaps the most politically and technologically influential of all the noble Khell families, and one of the members of the Council of Twelve. Based in the [[Adamaint Empire]], located near Adamann.
-* [[Genealogy:Craxela|Craxela]]: Formerly the ruling family of what is now the territory around Cronvint. The Craxelas are particularly infamous, as the actions of one of their young princes were the lynchpin that started Great Lockist War, which almost wiped out the Khell and crippled the entire continent for several thousand years. Today the surviving Craxelas usually keep their heritage a secret, due to the stigma associated with the name.

They are both well-known and respected for this, and infamous for some of the results of their technology - they were indirectly responsible for the partial destruction of [[Lelres]]. Currently based in Mawerlok.

Currently based in Mawerlok.
 * [[Genealogy:Jarkorli|Jarkorli]]: Not technically a full-blooded Khell family, but a hybrid bloodline of Khell and normal pendragon, having been descended from political marriages to secure off-shore alliances. Regardless, they are the current ruling family of Trilok, having taken control through political maneuvering and carefully-chosen marriages. Based in Cronvint.

However, they were crippled in the Great Lockist War and never fully recovered. Despite this, they still take an active role in Lockist affairs. The majority of their members today also have prominent [[Lukuo]] mutations, most often unusually large bodies and horns on their heads. Based in Volithin.

 Khellakh's most distinctive features, linguistically, are a wide variety of sounds for vowels (represented with varying accents in the transliterations here), and compound words. Because of the latter, literal translations of Khellakh can at times be inelegant.

 ==Religion==
 Although considered barbaric by many Ramathians, when a Khell dies, it is traditional for the family of that individual to skin them and use their pelt. It is not uncommon for a Khell to be found wearing the pelt that once kept their ancestors warm, or to be using a pelt of a family member as a bed spread or rug. The remaining body and bones are then given funeral pyres and cremated. The cremated remains are brought to one of the many underground tombs and laid to rest with the rest of the family. Many Khell tombs have elaborate sculptures and are filled with enchanted treasures, which make them highly sought after by thieves (if they can manage to get past the incredible security).
