This will be the first in series of documents written to describe the Ohl'tar.

Chapter 1: Psychical appearance of Ohl'tar.

Dear Baron Leo Dine,

It has come to my attention that some people have never seen an Ohl'tar before. Some have speculated that is what cause the tragic death of our leader Maigrenox.

Ohl'tar are an insectlike creatures. They have a large arachnid three piece body. They range in colors from bronze to black to purple. The largest piece being their abdomen, being about 4 feet across.

They have four legs, each of which with two knee joints, and then their upper body is about 6 feet from the ground to their chin.

Hm, this sounds scary. They were sentient you said?

And they speak English with a slight impediment?

You know - it would reassure me if it could be confirmed that these creatures are not related to the Leng Spider... otherwise I'd have no recourse but to recommend a cull.

Eek. That's make sure of that. I HATE spiders.

Wow, convergent linguistic evolution sure is a wonderful thing.

*Scott wonders if this thread should be called "Ohl'tar Anatomy" instead of "Ohl'tar Physiology", then goes back to studying.*

*Leo shakes his head in despair as he contemplates the increasing number of 'Med Students' in the world and their fancy words*

A messenger of the Baron arrives at the residence of Cho'Gall with a message for the count.

"Lord Cho'Gall the letter you sent regarding the Ohl'tar has come to Lord Dine's attention. As it seems that these creatures do not claim any land and if you are willing to welcome them the Baron sees no issue with allowing you to manage the situation. However there are two things that are of the utmost pertinence. First, this worrying claim that these Ohl'tar eat sheep is unacceptable as any Sheepist should know. Should they begin to attack the sheep Lord Dine will immediately, and without mercy, drive them from the land of Nordland and Elwynn. Second, the Baron is willing to allow you to deal with these people as long as you swear that you will enforce the laws of the land upon these people/things. As an aside the Lord does wish to know if there is any relation with these Leng Spiders as there is a fearful semblance between the two.

May the Great Sheep guide you."

With this the messenger bowed low and left.
