They're commonly thieves, archers/snipers, and bandits. That's clear in the book. If Agdon Longscarf is anything to go by, they base they primarily go by a first name with hard consonants, with a title based off of their notable achievements/possessions (Agdon is named after his long, blue, magical scarf). They also typically are free spirits, not bowing to Archfey and not liking authority in general, based on how Agdon Longscarf disobeyed her, the Archfey of Prismeer (who is secretly [ISPOILER]Iggwilv[/ISPOILER], but he doesn't know that). They also travel through the different Domains of Delight, so they're presumably mostly made up of nomadic bandit tribes that disrespect authority, and are tricksters that often act before they think, and generally don't take in mind the consequences of their actions. In a way, they're sort of like the Feywild's Vistani, being nomadic interplanar travelers that are stereotyped as mischief-makers. Yes, that's not much to go by, but it is something. It's not "nothing", unlike what some would have you believe. And it's not like they were going to get much lore in either of these books, anyway. They were originally intended to just be enemies that you could face in the adventure, with them later being added as a possible player race. They also first appeared in an Adventure Book, which are not known for having a bunch of lore in them for player races, and then in a setting-neutral crunch book (which is combining the crunch from two separate books, already making it full of mechanics and not have much room for fluff like lore). And as for the Eberron book reference . . . so what? Not every race will be in every setting, especially not the races released after the setting books were. If they appear in a future setting book, I'm assuming that they will be more ironed-out lorewise.</blockquote>
