 ===== History =====
-After siding with the [[dragul|Dragul]] Alliance in the Great War, Insectoids established their own city-state north of the [[abandoned_lands|Abandoned Lands]].
+After siding with the [[dragul|Dragul]] Alliance in the [[great_war|Great War]], Insectoids established their own city-state north of the [[abandoned_lands|Abandoned Lands]].
 At [[kulbak_prison|Kulbak Prison]], Insectoids were organized into a prison gang called Hagron's Hardbacks, known for their repeated escape attempts. Like many of the other [[dragul|Dragul]] prisoners there, the Insectoids longed for [[khathandor|Khathandor's]] return, believing in prophecies that the dead [[kobold|Kobold]] general would rise from the grave to restore the [[dragul|Dragul]] to their former glory.

 >//“The Insectoids don’t think like individuals. To them, a single death is inconsequential. What matters is the overall health of the hive. Some call that evil, but it’s just a different way of looking at the world."// - [[gulpax|Gulpax]], The Hive (GS-ADV3)
+==== Death ====
+Insectoids leave their dead to decompose naturally;
+>//There are Insectoid bodies stacked from floor-to-ceiling, the corpses of laborers who did not survive the harsh
+working conditions of the mines. Insectoid bodies harden and turn brittle after death, producing a nauseatingly sweet smell.\\
+...\\
+“It is indeed a horrible sight, but it is consistent with the customs of Insectoids. They do not believe in burying
+their dead.”// - [[alpha-zero|Alpha-Zero]], The Hive (GS-ADV3)
+==== Miscellaneous ====
+[[elf|Elves]] and Insectoids do not tend to get along, which makes the presence of two of their respective [[deities|gods]] next to one another in the [[sacred_caverns|Sacred Caverns]] of the [[insectoid|Insectoid]] [[hive|Hive]] quite unexpected;
+>//[[rax_akhan|Rax’akhan]] (RAX-a-khan), the Insectoid [[deities|god]] of the harvest stands next to [[kehstore|Kehstore]], the [[elf|Elvish]] god of mischief and disorder. It is strange to see an [[elf|Elvish]] [[deities|god]] worshiped in an Insectoid hive. Historically, Insectoids and [[elf|Elves]] have not always seen eye to eye.// - The Hive (GS-ADV3)
+Remaining motionless in a swarm of Insectoids will ensure safety, provided their mission is not to take you;
+>//“If we stand perfectly still, we won’t be harmed.”// - [[gulpax|Gulpax]], The Hive (GS-ADV3)
+>//“The drones won’t attack unless they're provoked. Of course, they’ll be plenty agitated when you try to sneak into their hive.”// - [[gulpax|Gulpax]], The Hive (GS-ADV3)
