Your knowledge of history is quite saddening. However, due to the lack of education in the present Graal these days it understandable.
The Culture and History of the Lizardons.
-----------------------------------------------------
While for the first part of this century, little was known of the Lizardon race, research into their ruins has obtained some basic knowledge of their origins.
The Lizardon has a brutal, tribalistic culture, based on war and battle. All of the creatures are raised from birth learning how to fight more effectively, beginning with claws and skin and moving onto weapontry such as swords and shields. At the age of twenty years, a Lizardon is given the test of blood, where he or she must venture out into the overworld and bring back the heart of a another creature.
In this test, the type of creature killed determines the rank the Lizardon will take in the society, the highest being a Griffon, which makes him a king, and the lowest a mouse, making them a peon. Once it is established, the only way to ascend is by defeating the superior in combat. However, often the combat is prevented to keep the order intact when threats from the outside appear.
The Lizardon society exists as a mostly cave dwelling species, except for those who go on raids to the overworld. They tend to shy away from the surface under standard settings and stay close to underground rivers. Despite the suggestions that they actually have a highly structured civilization, the ruins that they inhabit appear to have been created before they arrived. Most Lizardon Structures are built out of the bones of ancient creatures and the ruins are made of magmatic stones.
In one of the most unusual twists, the Lizardons are amazing in their ability to "tame" powerful beasts, and its a well known fact that the innermost sanctuaries of the Lizardons are protected by Dragons which they raised themselves. Smaller Dragons can sometimes be found providing support fire in small battles.
The Lizardon race was first found in the abandoned mines of Kaydn, but soon expanded to the north. However, their expansion cease for unknown reasons when they reached the mountains. When they began raiding the main areas of Graal, they were stopped by a new military force known as the Baddies, while the Lizardons were better trained and stronger, the Baddies were more numerous and were stupid enough to enter Lizardon Lairs. Thus the Lizardons retreated once they discovered there was little of value in the overworld.
Biologically, the Lizardons are more agile and strong than most Graalians from birth, and their weapon making techniques enhance these aspects.
There have been no divisions in the Lizardon forces, as any attempt to leave the Lizardon Leader would have been squashed immediately and brutally.
No, this is not just some NW thing, but I should know about the Lizardons if anyone. I have been there since they were created and then some.
