Description
[edit | edit source]The lizardfolk - also called Achaz - are an Aventurian intelligent species. They are a bipedal people with graceful bodies, lizard-like features (e.g. scales, tails, ...) and long lifespan.
The Achaz are ancient race with many cultural treasures long before humans dominated Aventuria. Today, hardly anyone recognises their former significance or the influence of their culture on humans. Their cultural specialities include language, writing, their own pantheon, (alleged) sports, and magical traditions.
How many lizardfolk still dewll in Aventuria ist difficult to say. Most lizardfolk live in seclusion in mangrove swamps like the Lizard Swamps near Selem Sound, around Loch Harodrôl, the Rain Mountains, and the Forest Islands. These places are quite inhospitable to other races. Selem is one of the very few examples and most prominent one where lizardfolk and humans live together.
The lizardfold are ancient enemies of the dwarves.
Achaz shall not be confused with their distant relatives, the Maru and the Zilit.
