Klodorex
Klodorex is a Kahoun, the Lizardmen temple city equivalent of a "town".
Klodorex was built and and continues to be maintained in order to safeguard the Monument of Izztal and the four mountain temples near it. Together the Monument and the four temples harness an intersection of major magical ley lines.
Demographics
At any given point, there are normally between 4000 and 6000 Skinks and between 200 and 300 Kroxigor.
The Saurus population swings widely typically numbering between 400 and 1000 Sauri.
About 68% of the Skinks are worker caste skinks, typically blue skinned with tan crests.
About 20% of the Skinks are Sotek caste skinks, typically light green with bright red crests.
About 12% of the Skinks are Beast caste skinks, typically dark green with dark red crests.
There are usually about 25 Skink Chiefs and 20 Skink priests at any given time, skinks born for greatness. There are usually about 50 to 100 honored elders, skinks who gained a leadership position from their deeds.
History
~4800 Before Sotek, The mightly Slann Izzatal sacrifices himself to destroy many Daemon at the ley line intersection at Mount Klodor. It just so happens that four of the most prominent demon lords banished in this event were Korshalork, Darfiel, Thazerick, and Locklirist.
~4000 Before Sotek, High Elf explorers see the Golden Mountain (aka the Monument of Izzatal) on top of Mount Klodor. They attempt to retrieve it but turn back and return to Ulthuan after being subjected to the natural dangers of the Biting Bogs. Survivors eventually make sure the "Golden Mountain" finds its way onto every elven map of Lustria.
1 After Sotek, Tehenhuain begins prophesizing Sotek’s arrival. As the war progresses, Klodorex sees very little fighting near their territory but many Skinks, Kroxigor, and Sauri from Klodorex join Tehenhauin’s army.

Tourism
On a clear day, the top of Mount Klodor shines golden. The monument of Izzatal is gold plated but superstitious and greedy treasure seekers assume it is solid gold. A lot of outsiders attack Klodorex seeking the gold.
A rare few outsiders know that the real treasure is not gold, but the magical power of the ley line intersections and magical savvy raiders have tried to capture it.
For most of it's history, other Lizardmen paid little attention to Klodorex. By Slann standards, their ruler Merestar was considered a foolish dreamer rightfully regulated to a bit post.
After one of Merestar's crazy plans actually worked and Klodorex became Lustria's only telepathic conduit to the Southlands, Klodorex began regularly receiving Slann visitors (along with large delegations of the body guards and servants of said visiting Slann).
