Horkist are tough-skinned amphibian rakes who favor wide brimmed hats. They hire themselves out as soldiers, and between jobs they dwell in red light districts, drinking, gambling and dueling. Less known is that they also have hidden meeting spots in the sewers and work as burglars when they run out of money. Just as likely to work for the city-watch or the thieves guild, many work for both. They see grippli as country bumpkins and toads as degenerate cave dwellers.

Legend has it that once upon a time a princess kissed a frog and he turned into a prince, these are what happens when a whore kisses a toad.
