Lemurian

Lemurians are a reptilian species that has a long lower jaw, a strangely flattened face, eyes small but piercing and set curiously far apart, so that they can see sideways as well as in front. Lemuria, sheltered by lemurian druids, is much like the lost era before, filled with dinosaurs of all types. Lemurians have managed to keep dinosaurs alive through selective breeding, carefully controlled enclosures, and other magical means. They breed special dog-like creatures similar to plesiosaurs but much smaller, which they use for hunting. Of all the species populating the primal lands, lemurians are the oldest. Lemurians have no set gender and can self-impregnate at will, laying an egg during their breeding season. Thus lemurians can replenish their species rapidly if need be.

To build their huts, lemurians tear down trees, and pile them up in a tent-like fashion. Their huts, formed of rude trunks of trees, are shored up with boulders of stone. Lemurians wear robes of loose skin, usually dinosaurs. They wear tassels of bright red, blue and other colors to identify rank. Lemurians wield long spears of sharpened wood, ranging from twelve to fifteen feet long.

Lemurians are gender fluid, so their names are a reflection of their memories and achievements. Cehpu-no, Ectilxecl, Gop-xachtlon, Hizdol-hu, Krixchic-zoa, Tluhtur-hu’a, Qrich-tlo’entlic, Xoxtahpuch, Yo’acnatzte, Zuxcuxcan
