Quillbren (Quillboar)
The Quillbren are the boar-folk of Vitaea, a Landborn heritage of scattered families. They live in a mixed society of semi-nomadic tribes led by one of the great Khans of the Plain. Like most beastfolk, they descend from the True Sylvari and gained sapience in the Great Awakening, some 40,000 years ago.
