Lizardfolk

Lizardfolk were made by the sun god Sepikstola in the Dawn Era. After they made the dragonkin, Sepikstola began to make more folk to populate it. Lizardfolk were made to find homes within the swamps and jungles of Khinarzi, which is why now many are found in the warmer climbs in the Kingdom of Molba, though some other large groups reside in warmer, coastal regions of the Kingdoms of Neoko and Thalavis.
The lizardfolk’s reptilian nature comes through not only in their appearance, but also in how they think and act. Lizardfolk experience a more limited emotional life than other humanoids. Like most reptiles, their feelings largely revolve around fear, aggression, and pleasure, experiencing most feelings as detached descriptions of creatures and situations. A lizardfolk doesn’t think, “I’m scared.” Instead, aggressive, stronger creatures register to the lizardfolk as fearsome beings to be avoided if possible. If such creatures attack, lizardfolk flee, fighting only if cornered. Lizardfolk aren’t scared of a troll; instead, they understand that a troll is a fearsome, dangerous creature and react accordingly.
Lizardfolk never become angry in the way others do, but they act with aggression toward creatures that they could defeat in a fight and that can’t be dealt with in some other manner. They are aggressive toward prey they want to eat, creatures that want to harm them, and so on.
Pleasurable people and things make life easier for lizardfolk. Pleasurable things should be preserved and protected, sometimes at the cost of the lizardfolk’s own safety. The most pleasurable creatures and things are ones that allow lizardfolk to assess more situations as benign rather than fearsome. This has lead lizardfolk being a common sight amongst the militaries of the Five Kingdoms and the Guardians, for the greatest ease on each individual is the society of the Five Kingdoms and its protection and preservation is incredibly important to their way of thinking.
One issue that has arisen from the death of their creator deity at the end of the Dawn Era, is that some lizardfolk while not succumbing to the Song of Discord, will undergo changes in their adult years, their fins growing larger and more brightly coloured, their bodies growing slightly and them becoming touched by are darkness of an outside force. It is speculated this darkness inhabits the spiritual hole left in the children of Sepikstola, after their demise at the hands of the Dark One. So far this alteration seems benign, but many worry it could be a sign of darker things to come for all the folk who's existence is tied to the gods of the Dawn Pantheon.
