The Skera Nipt are a tribe of Goblyns from the North, who venerate Sifu. Their numbers are heavily female, drawing from the disenchanted, angry, or just plain bored Goblyn females. It is not known if they count any males among their numbers, but there are most certainly none known to be in any position of power.
The Skera Nipt are secretive, and it is not known how many exist, or even exactly where they live. It is said that any female Goblyn that wishes to join the tribe and emulate Sifu, should go North, and if Sifu judges them worthy, they will be led to the Skera Nipt.
Though secretive, it is not unknown for a Skera Nipt to embark upon a journey amongst the rest of the monster population, and the world in general. For some, it is because they wish to see the world, born in to a isolated tribe. For others, who come from the outside world, find that they miss the entertainment of it. But all who are chosen of Sifu, eventually return to her hands. A traveling Skera Nipt tends to be somewhat withdrawn, a result of the secretive and close-mouthed tribe. As such, most Skera Nipt are somewhat removed from monster culture in general, some of whom seem to be far too interested in the idea of a bunch of hot warrior Goblyn chicks.
The Skera Nipt are also known for their distaste for the undead. As Sifu beats back errant goblyn souls, preventing their return to life, so too, do the Skera Nipt, in a fashion. The undead are seen as foes who don't know that they have lost their fight, and the Skera Nipt consider it their duty to to remind them that that they have already failed and got dead, and that they should stay properly dead. Undead Goblyns are rare, but when word of them reaches the ears of the Skera Nipt, they will go out of their way to make sure they are eliminated.
Many of the Skera Nipt attempt to emulate their patron, by specializing in a combination of Sifu's chosen weapons. Great warriors become the best at their chosen combination, and the greatest can even master two combinations. But it is forbidden to attempt to master them all, as only Sifu may, and all who try are doomed to fail, spectacularly, and hilariously.
Skera Nipt translates roughly from their tongue to 'Slaughter Sisters', or the Sisters of Slaughter.
Heirarchy
The Skera Nipt are led by a single female Goblyn, who is a favorite of Sifu. This Goblyn must be both a renowned warrior and a shaman of great skills. This Goblyn is called the Mouth of Sifu.
Next come the Arms of Sifu, three of them. Each of these females chose one of the pairs of holy weapons of Sifu, and are the best in the tribe at their chosen combination.
After that are the Feet of Sifu, shamans who have wandered the world and returned to the tribe, chosen by their Goddess.
