Grogan

Harsh and Unforgiving Lives

With the Grogan making the deserts of Alramel their home, it is wise to assume that
they don’t have the easiest lives growing up and coming of age. This harsh desert
and dry landscape has forced the Grogan to adapt and survive, becoming some of
the hardiest of all creatures. Not only the environment that the Grogan have to
deal with, but also survive the other predators that roam the sands.

Hard to Kill Bastards

Having to adapt and survive the Grogan have become some of the most
ruthless of creatures. Have inch thick leather skin acting like armored plates
that are their first line of defense. Not to mention their immense size and
mass to boot, with the average Grogan growing over 7ft tall and weighting
somewhere around 350lbs-500lbs. Large humps on their backs that they
use to store nutrients and more commonly used as a weapon in close range,
with a head butt here and there. Most Grogan prefer heavy two-handed
weapons such as the greataxe or warhammer, and matched with their ridicules
strength, additionally with an angry temperament to match, it’s like getting hit by a
rolling boulder.

The Clans
Grogan have always and most likely will forever live in a clan orientated society. With chiefs and shamans acting as the
leadership, with Warlords and Battle Masters acting as the law masters. Usually the oldest and strongest of the clan is
elected chief of their clan, having to go through a series of physical trials of strength to prove this. With the chief being
the leader of the clan, the shaman is the most respected. Grogan have a very traditional way of thinking, with tradition
and “ways of old” they call it being their way of life. Having a heavy focus on rituals and laws that no Grogan may ever
break, this brings some sort of sophisticated nature to these creatures although not by much.

Coming of Age
The coming of age mentality of Grogan is a bit different to other cultures, with it not being based on age at all. How
they see it is that once you reach a certain peak physical condition then you are considered an adult. It varies from clan
to clan but usually when a Grogan reaches the weight of 350lbs and can deadlift their same weight than they have
“come of age”. Now what this means in Grogan society is that now you must prove your worth to the clan, either as a
warrior or in some spiritual way.
Usually how young Grogan do this is by leaving the clan for a few years and “earn a few scars” is what they call it, if
they wish to be a warrior, or by picking fights with some of the older more proven Grogan and not getting their ass
handed to them.
If they wish to prove themselves in a less physical approach then they would enact the Shaman Trials. With these trials
they will prove if they have what it takes to become a shaman.

 Reptilians
Deep in the Jungles
One of the oldest and less advanced races in Lunitar is the Reptilians.
Dwelling in the dense jungles and swamps of Lokeed they have become
quite adapted at swimming and guerrilla fighting. Having to deal with the
moisture that surrounds them it has given certain species of Reptilian a
very oily skin that allows them easily move through the dense vegetation
of their environment without making too much noise or disturbing the
aggressive plant life.

The Scales are Diverse

No Reptilian is ever the same in scale pattern or exact color, making each
of them unique and different. Not only are they each unique and different
but there are many types and species that the Reptilians are divided into.
Some only being 4ft tall, other being 7ft hulking masses of flesh and other
in the middle. With each of these species playing to their strength because
it’s a matter of survival in the jungles. Usually the older and wiser Reptilians of a tribe will decorate themselves with
colored paints and wear all kinds of bone jewelry to show their position, but is not exclusive to them. Others will leave
behind their primal lifestyle and adapt to urban life, but they are far and few between compared to the rest of their kin.

The Species
Reptilians are separated into three different major species, each having their own strengths and weaknesses.

Grotatis: Nimble hunters that utilize ambush tactics as their greatest weapon. They are some of the most territorial
when it comes to outsiders and other forms of invaders.

Brotatis: More powerfully built than the rest of their kind. A very violent people that resort to more bloodshed than
simply talking something out. Their chiefs very rarely stay in power for very long due to someone else coming along
and taking the spot in a gruesome and bloody fashion, over and over again.

Drotatis: Smaller and nimbler than most of their race, standing between 3-4ft tall, but this size does not take away from
their lethality. To counter their size difference, they have become adept at making poisons and using stealth as their
weapons. Very much like the small chameleon lizard, this species can also shift the color of their scales.

In Awe of Magic
Most reptilians respect and fear magic, thinking it as more of a natural energy from the world, as most don’t
understand the nature of Arcane magic. It is not uncommon to see the leaders of tribes being some type of shaman or
druid, they oversee sacred rituals and rites of passage in which the tribe sees and a necessity to their survival. Almost
all Reptilians refuse the existence of the gods and say that “Divine” magic is not from higher entities but rather the
souls and energy of the dead, this often calls for blood sacrifice within tribes.

The Common Speech of Reptilians

Reptilians can master Common, but their native tongue affects the result of their understanding of the language. Rarely
do they ever use metaphors, practically always speaking literally.
Names in their language come in the form of a description, thus they get confused when they meet people outside of
their race. Often they will try to give you a name in the way they traditionally due, describing you in some way.
They tend to use active verbs to describe the world. They might say, “This wind brings cold” rather than saying, “I feel
cold”. They define things by action rather than effects.

and has a very tight-knit society of helpfulness and neighborly

they have in cities or when traveling on the road with their bird mounts and little wooden carts. Most Mousefolk know

 Aarakocra
Wardens of the Sky
This race is most at home when; you guessed it, when they are flying around in the sky or
at the stop of their monasteries far above the world. Being teleported by unknown reason
from the Elemental Plane of Air, this race has made their new home in the mountain tops
of Lokeed, with some travelling to Alramel. Overseeing its jungle and acting as the new
peace keepers if you will.

Solitude
Many Aarakocra are headmasters of monk monasteries and schools of martial arts. They
prefer peace and quiet unless the time arises when they need to keep peace among the
other races of the continent. Though living away from most civilization makes this hard
for any news to travel to them. This is why they send their students out far and wide to
report back on a regular basis. Many do however want to enlighten themselves and explore
the lands that many of them so wish they never touch with their clawed feet. They wish to
further their own spirituality by making friends with many races and learning their culture
and customs. These Aarakocra are however far and few between.

or roofs. This is when their humanoid features show themselves.

males being brightly colored with reds, orange or yellow, females more earthy colors such as grey and brown. With their
heads matching most birds, most common is that of parrots or eagles, usually with some paint on their peak marking
their monastery.

Different Customs
The concept of ownership is new to these birdmen. Spending most of their
time in the sky, who owns the sky? Most struggle at the concept of buying
items and products, which is why usually they just take or craft their own.
Like most bird creatures, shiny things catch their eye and they are
fascinated by the sparkle of most things such as glitter in potions or suits of
armor being worn by knights.

to get rid of tiny bugs and bathing in pools of water to wash themselves. They
feel to be pure of spirit one must be clean in and out.

 Felines
Cats of the Sand

intelligence and agility. Not to mention their skills in alchemic recreational
tolerance. Making a name for themselves as traders as well as exceptional
warriors as they have also been hardened by the desert and its predators
that roam it.

Two Points of View

There are two extremes that have become popular when dealing with the
Feline races. One is that they are amazing at conducting business and trade,
on and off the books as well as being very skilled warriors, being hired out as
bodyguards just as much as Grogan are sought for. The second idea people
have of these people is that most are criminals, conducting a lot of black
market dealings with narcotics and also many of them taking up professions
as assassins and thieves. The reputation that has been spread of these two
point of views makes it hard for those that try something different from the
rest of their kin have a hard way doing so.

The Sands of Home and Jungles of Opportunity

The majority of Feline races you will find originally came from stretches of desert that Alramel is made up of. They live
in medium to large tribe like communities, mostly nomadic. With some settling in the major cities of Alramel and
starting small businesses. They have become quite adapt at combating the predators of the deserts as well as surviving
on minimal supplies.
Many ages ago however, there were a few tribes that decided to look for new lands and new opportunities at altering
their reputation. Many sailed to Lokeed, as the jungles there made a decent home for them. Sometimes they miss the
heat of the sands. Many try and rebuild their reputation and start monasteries and such and seek to make friends with
the other races of that continent.

The Fur tells a Story

There are many variations of the Feline races, as they had to adapt to their surroundings. With some being incredibly
nimble and clever but not very good with people and other being more bulky and less cunning. With no two Felines ever

 Yuan-Ti
The Serpents of Sand and Jungle
The Yuan-Ti used to be normal humans dwelling in temples in
the deserts of Alramel and the jungles of Lokeed. They

where they eat the flesh and drink the blood of a rare snake
known as a Yuan Snake alongside a magical ritual. And so
began the culture and civilization of the Yuan-Ti. Snake Born.

Cold Blooded Mindset

a cold and selfish people. They think that due to their
transformation that it has been a form of ascendance to a
higher power. Those that live out in the wild are ruthless
hunters and guardians to their sacred temples. With those
that move on into cities and mix with other races become
criminals or ascend to manipulating power, with a few exceptions.

The Broods of Family

Broods can be translated to clans or tribes that the Yuan-Ti split them up into. One is born into a Brood when they
undergo the ritual of Changing in the company of the same Yuan-Ti in the same temple or location. Broods are split up
by color and scale patterns usually, some being blue with strips and others maybe red with spots. A Yuan-Ti will
consider its brood its one and only true family, leaving their human lives behind them. Within a Brood they are usually
