Xeno Codex (3.5e Sourcebook)/Ethergaunt

Relations and History of Ethergaunt
In the grand scheme of things (which, to the perpetually scheming ethergaunts, is everything), other races are mere pawns that the ethergaunts may bend to their will. When dealing with ethergaunts, it would be prudent for opposite parties to remember that they are willing to plot against each other for personal gain. Ethergaunt treatment of outsiders makes their relations with each other appear cordial by comparison.
