She did so until the Second Surface explorers found out that it wasn't Erika or The Dragons who were creating the Plagues- it was the Vahnatai. Rentar-Ihrno helped them out by giving them valuable information in exchange for news of the Surface World. After the deaths of almost all of them, they sent the Second Surface Explorers- a team of brave adventurers who eventually find out who caused the plagues. The real problem started when The Surface was attacked by several dangerous Plagues: The Slime, Roach, Troglo, Giant and Golem ones which invade it and started wreaking havoc, prompting the Avernites to send the First Surface Explorers to explore. In it, the Vahnatai were introduced as minor characters, not very significant to the plot who resided in the town of Ghikra, leaded by Rentar-Ihrno herself who decided to support the Avernites in their attempts to explore The Surface, which was populated by The Empire. After this, both Avernum and the Vahnatai lived in peace, until the events of Avernum 3. This pleased The Council who decided that the Vahnatai will attack The Empire for what they've done and stop them from destroying Avernum.įinally, after a long battle with the help of the Vahnatai, The Empire's greatest wizard and current leader- Garzahd has been defeated and his soldiers forfeited. After learning that it's actually the latter, they offered their help against the true thiefs- The Empire in exchange of the return of their three Crystal Souls.Įventually, after a long search and killing Empire soldiers in their way (as well as a few hostile Vahnatai), the Empire War Heroes returned the Crystal Souls and placed them in their rightful places.

They agreed and performed the Ritual of Welcoming, learning how to communicate with other Vahnatai. They were welcomed by Bon-Ihrno, who warned them of the incoming threat and hoped to stop it with their help. The wisest of the Vahnatai in Avit- Bon-Ihrno sent a message to the humans, demanding the arrival of their messengers and that if they refuse, that means certain doom.Ī group of adventurers, known as the Empire War Heroes took on the quest, traveled through the hazardous Vahnatai lands and eventually reached Avit. Most Vahnatai thought it was the Avernites who stole their Crystal Souls, but a few hoped that it wasn't them. Their most powerful mage- Rentar-Ihrno created huge magical barriers, cutting Avernum in half as punishment. In the time shortly before the events of Avernum 2/CS, three Crystal Souls were stolen by a bunch of humans and the Vahnatai decided that they are a threat.

Both races lived in harmony until The Theft. They lived in Avernum long before the humans arrived, the place being their initial land.Īfter their most recent Resting, they found out that their former lands were now inhabited by a race of Humans, known as the Avernites, who they decided to leave alone and move into the lower caverns (though they still regard them as invaders).

The existence of the Vahnatai dates from thousands of years ago. Most Vahnatai can speak English, albeit not very well. All of this is evidenced during the journey through Vahnatai lands of the Empire War Heroes in Avernum 2/CS. They also get partially destroyed, but some stay mostly intact (an example for this is the Ruined River Fort which is not in a very bad condition, despite its years of neglect). They are abandoned and are endangered from the monsters moving into them. During this time, they are vulnerable to outside threats and might die if said threats prove too much for the crystals they reside in. In most of them they raise crops, more commonly mushrooms, but sometimes other ones as well.Įach 100 years, those creatures enter a state of hybernation, because of the constantly decreasing food. Like humans, they have a leader in each of those settlements (usually a Mayor). Their towns are usually small, village-like settlements (like Avit), but there are some exceptions of larger towns that act just like the larger cities in Avernum (like Olgai, the residence of The Council of Olgai in Avernum 2/CS). Vahnatai are a peaceful race, mostly living in the Lower Caverns (with some exceptions), eating mushrooms, but there are some, who are hostile to humans.
