Xilasci Ethnicity in Helaeron | World Anvil

Xilasci

The Noble and Ruling ethnicity of Reptilids. The Xilasci are serpentine beings with torsos resembling that of Men. But with the heads of snakes and only a tail to move about.
They are said to also have clawed hands that can cut through solid stone. And fangs that could cleave pounds of flesh from an unfortunate victim.
In the ancient tales of the Xinai Men. The Xilasci ruled over their Reptilid subjects with a cruel hand. Even gleefully devouring their own kind as an example of their authority. Even devouring four Emerald Emperors of The Dominion of Xi.

It is said that no Man that meets a Xilasci, is ever the same as he was before. If indeed he survives the meeting.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

Beauty exists only in the holding of power for the Xilasci. Physical or Essential beauty is a concept of the lesser species. To Rule is to be truly great.

Gender Ideals

Xilasci have no concept of gender. And can even interchange sexes as they see fit. Especially in matters of reproduction or consummation of political unions.
Tales of the Xinai Men say that Xilasci can even grow human appendages, and use them for coital domination of human slaves.

Courtship Ideals

Political gain is the soul reason for any Xilasci to mate. If a prospective mate would bond themselves with another, they must bring political gain to the mate. All other interest is trivial, and secondary.

Relationship Ideals

Xilasci nobles dominate their lesser Reptilids as Alpha Male and Female Wolves dominate their pack. They appoint a kind of Beta from among the Crocoa. The brute strength of their race.

Major organizations

The Reptilid Empire was once the all encompassing political entity of the Reptilids. An empire of cruel, unscrupulous beings with a lust for the Flesh of Mankind. But it was ultimately crushed by The Ellician Empire. Scattering the Reptilids into fringe societies across the Known World.
