Background/History
Shish females were the cause of the dominance of men for quite sometime centuries ago. When the humans discovered the power of the Shish female, they would enslave them with the help of their alliance races to conquer opposing armies, causing them to retreat when their weapons would come forth and turn most of the armies to stone. Tricking the soldiers with their beauty, and once they fell upon their gaze, it was instant death. But this was abuse, mistreating the females and forcing them into submission for them. With the soldiers constantly behind their hood, forcing their face down and forcing locked blindfolds upon their eyes so they couldn't rebel. Head gears created by dwarves especially for their kidnapping and control, the armies trained to control the Shish females, some becoming so miserable in their way of life, they would simply starve themselves and die.
It took the Shish to alliance with the Southern Werebeasts, promising eternal loyalty to each other to rescue the females and retreat back to the depths of the deserts, protecting their females and their 'gift' from those races who wish to use them as a weapon again. Scarred and betrayed, it's required never to forget their mistake of the past, and now they aid no one but the Southern Werebeasts.
