Shintay

Shintay, are an ancient race of people beleived to have escaped from the doomed continent of Atlantis shortly before it sunk beneath the waves. They are on average about eight feet tall with fair skin and dark hair. They were armed with spears and cross bows with crystal bolts. The Branch of the Shintay found by Indiana Jones and Doctor/Colonel Vogel are outcasts from Atlantis who were banished when their power began to pose a threat to the ancient island for they worshipped death rather than revering life. To this end they possess the power of crystals that were quarried from Atlantean soil eons before and now used to provide light for their fortress and the strength to make it impregnable. The energy from the crystals can also be channeled to kill. In the struggle for possession of the crystals the fortress of the Shintay was destroyed and presumably all within slain.
