Sandfang gnolls are a gnoll ethnic group native to Bulwar. Their packs inhabit the lands around the Harra Oasis, the east Salahad and the Šad Sur. They are related to the gnolls that ruled most of Bulwar before being defeated and expelled to the desert by Jaher and the Sun Elves. After his death they slowly regained control over their former domains, retaking the Harra oasis from the Mašnsih and later the Šad Sur from the kingdom of Šad Sur/Zanšap.
They control the trade routes between Bulwar and Sarhal, with slaves and trade goods travelling from north to south. Their more populated settlements are the cities around the Harra oasis and the mountain surrounding the Ekluzagnu in the Šad Sur. Their tongue is heavily influenced by the nearby Bulwari dialects with many words being gnollified versions of Bulwari words.
The different packs struggled for power until they consolidated into two great packs at the beginning of the 15th century under Pack-mistress Tluukt Cleaver-of-Realms and Pack-lord Zokka Devourer-of-Suns. Both of them managed to defeat several of the Phoenix Kingdoms and asserted dominance over some Bulwari city states and akalates, but both packs were defeated by the Jaddari: Zokka’s in the Battle of the Sun’s Providence, and Tluukt’s during the Jaddari conquest of Bulwar. Most of the Sandfang Gnolls would later convert to the Jadd, with one of the most important converts being Zokka Devourer-of-Darkness, the son of Packlord Zokka.
