Lisks

The primary species of beings in the everdark, the Lisks might be considered the analog to Mortals of Nycos. The species, however, are themselves splinters of their original kind, now broken into seven subspecies by the very effects of the Revening so recently undone by the planting of the Fellstones. Penumbra arguably has been the most damaged by the effects, for as yet undisclosed reasons. Lisks inhabit every biosphere of the Everdark, and are considered the Masters of the world, though they are by no means the most numerous species nor even the top of the ecological food chain. Each does have its particular favorite terrain, and each is suited specifically to the task of survival there. This categoricals header leads to those Seven, described here in short.
