They were all wiped out (along with the centaurs) by Urist McAdventurer between the years -19 and -1. They dominate the world pre-worldgen, and prevent expansion of civilized society before then.

Baffler likes silver, walnut trees, the color green, tanzanite, and dogs for their loyalty. When possible he prefers to consume beef, iced tea, and cornbread. He absolutely detests ticks.

You won't believe how simple that is... just go to a site, press k, shout, and claim the site for yourself. You will get to name your new civ, and become the lord of it. If you want, you can kill the previous lord/lady and maybe the lawgiver. *UHUM* DECAPITATE *UHUM*
