Creature:Lizardman

Lizardmen are warlike humanoids found in deep jungles and swamps. Different sects of lizardmen are constantly warring amongst themselves and with other races; in particular, their conflict with the over Arvennia was a long and costly one for both sides.

Lizardmen can live up to 50 years, but most die in combat before reaching that age.

Religion
The lizardmen have a religion based around duality: sun and moon, light and darkness, life and death.

Most lizardmen worship and make sacrifices to a divine warrior called Lord Mordechai, but a breakaway sect worships the personification of death through his supposed avatar,.

Lizardmen believe that at the beginning of time, Lord Mordechai and Lord Death emerged from the primordial mother, killing her in the process. The two fought many battles and each lost one eye during this time (these went on to become the sun and moon). Lord Mordechai eventually defeated Lord Death and entombed him within the earth. However, Lord Death can still see what occurs on the earth using his disembodied eye, with the lunar cycle echoing the cycle of birth and death.

Lizardmen believe that only those who die honorably in combat will ascend to the stars and be with Lord Mordechai; all others will descend into the place of fright and be devoured utterly by the death god. Lizardmen believe that warriors who have ascended to the stars will train there for the final battle against the forces of death, and that warriors favored by Lord Mordechai will be resurrected to continue battling the death god's forces on earth.
