The Hom

The Hom are a tribe of ancient humans native to planet Erth. They are bipedal and are described by the dragons as "semi-intelligent" because of their somewhat advanced hunting strategies and knowledge of weapons and tools. Like the other humanoid characters in the trilogy, the Hom has had a long, bitter hatred for the Wearle, who were sent from their original home Ki:mera to colonise Erth. The Hom made their first appearance in The Wearle (Book 1 of The Erth Dragons), and spoke their own language.
