Profile
Antinium in the city are few in number, keep to themselves, and are often seen scurrying with tools in hand, focused on their missions. They are generally avoided by the other citizens.
An Antinium appears at the inn’s door and speaks, signaling the presence of insectoid people among the city guard.
The Antinium species is introduced through Klbkch. Erin is initially terrified by his insectoid appearance. His civilized, intelligent, and kind behavior provides a stark contrast to his monstrous look, introducing the Antinium as a thinking, non-hostile race.
Klbkch's species is presented as stoic and difficult to read, with superior senses and a formidable reputation suggested by his 'Slayer' title.
The species is implicitly referenced through Klbkch. Erin also notes the absence of 'ant-people' on the streets of Liscor.
Observed by Erin in the city, scurrying with tools and being avoided by others.
