The Ratlings believe that they are the chosen ones of Kirgi, the Rat god, and that they will eventually inherit the earth. They often visit the surface temples of Kirgi and sometimes pass themselves off as divine messengers. In this disguise they can often direct complex social and political affairs to their own advantage, as well as speed up the corruption of the city’s rulers.

Ratlings tend to be quiet and shrewd observers, staying hidden in the shadows, ever vigilant and patient, until the right moment entices them to take action. They are clever, cunning, sneaky and resourceful, although they sometimes play the fool and let their insecurities get the better of them. They also have an aptitude for spying and building things, so it’s little wonder that they have a fascination with traps, tricks, and thievery.
