Awoken by The Divine Emperor of Shenghuang during its descent from heaven, the hogfolk appear to be large humanoid pigs, with hair and skin tending towards darker shades of brown to shades of black and pink. Most have big bellies with swarthy, stout bodies and posses long stout arms, ending in hands with cloven fingers and while standing on short but powerful legs. They have large, squat faces, small beady eyes, floppy ears, with pronounced snouts, men tend to have large tusks, which they ornately decorate or trim, while the women tend to have smaller, more petite snouts, and rounder bodies.
Following the Divine Emperor's decree, their kind was split by the needs they could best fullfill. The boarfolk can be found as the brutish backbone of the northern province regiments, the warts toil endlessly in the rice fields of the heartlands, and the pot bellied ones trade and thinker in the southern cities. Those found in the Malshan Mountains are descendants of renegades, of those who refused their place in the emperor's plan.
Hogfolk usually intermingle with wider imperial society to an extent that their names are derived from usual Shenghuang names, that being chinese names.
