Lizardfolk

The warlike lizardfolk are seen as little more unusual than an elf in Godweave. They may serve in cities or armies, and are nearly as varied in outlook and disposition as humans, perhaps due to their centuries of coexistence. Lizardfolk exist in a range of heights, scale colors, and cultures, but due to the nature of the Western Continent, they tend to be more pragmatic than good-hearted. Lizardfolk and humans commonly live with each other in mutual communities or cities. Unlike lizardfolk elsewhere in the multiverse, they lack their affinity for water, as the swamps they are associated with do not exist on the Western Continent. They lack the geographical range of humans, and are only found natively on the Western Continent. See the end of this article for an updated lizardfolk race.
Alignment: Lizardfolk can be of any alignment, but the pragmatic nature of their homelands tends to push them towards neutrality or evil.
Deities: Lizardfolk might serve any Western god.
Homeland: Lizardfolk live in the warmth of the Western Continent, and their nations often vie with each other and the nearby human states for supremacy.
