The Custom World of this wiki

This page details the custom world that this fine community has created, and all of the factions therein. Below, you can see a map of this world. The borders are the coloured lines, and the large cities are represented by the coloured squares. The thin black lines are trade routes and/or possible trade routes.

NOTE TO ANYONE ADDING THEIR FACTION: They should be arranged in alphabetical order, for convenience.

History
--UNDER CONSTRUCTION--

General Information
The Saurian race is actually divided into two different groups, with a third sub-group. The two primary groups share similar features. They are both various patterns of green and brown, though more exotic colours such as blue and red and black have been observed. They both have long tails to aid in swimming, with a head much like a komodo dragon. They also have small spiky spines running along their spine and down their tail. They also usually have long legs. Now the two main kinds are mostly divided by appearance:

The Civilians: These Saurians are a bit more Human looking. They have similar proportions to men, similarly sized, with similarly skinny arms, etc. These are the thinkers, the artists, the farmers, the architects, the sorcerers, and the leaders (those last two are usually synonymous). They can take up arms if they need to.

The Warriors: Bigger, musclier, nastier. These are the warriors, hunters, guards, and strategists. Outsiders perceive them as being kinda dumb, but that's not entirely true. They just seem that way because their minds are focussed entirely on war and combat and such.

Kroxigar: Remember that sub-species I told you about? Some people think that the Kroxigar are a different species entirely. They are very big, with stronger muscles and harder scales. Their heads are reminiscent of a Triceratops. Rare in number, these huge beasts are a valued commodity for any Saurus leader, as they follow orders unquestioningly and always get the job done.

Now, Saurian society isn't too complicated. Each city has a governing council. Each member of the council stays until declared unfit to lead, or they retire, or they die. The councillors are almost always sorcerers, as the sorcerers are the wisest and most powerful of Saurian society. The prospective councillors are chosen by going through a complex test to see if they are fit to lead. They rule from a combined temple/governing building.

Saurian religion is fairly straightforward. They believe in no omniscient deities, no pantheon of almighty gods. They simply believe that if one does well in life, in death he will be transported to the Thundering Stars (their version of Valhalla) to become a Seraphon (immortal Saurians with lightning for blood and the ability to travel the stars on bolts of lightning) to battle the Darkness (an oppressive conglomeration of, and at the same time responsible for, all evil).

Saurians live only in immense, walled, isolated cities. The jungle outside the walls is too dangerous, there are no small villages in the Saurian jungle.

Saurian magic is celestial in nature. It involves reading the stars, perceiving the future, and calling their wrath down upon enemies. This usually takes the shape of bolts of lighting, immense cosmic rays, and the most powerful can even call down a rain of fire and brimstone. ===Saurians often wear little armour, as their scales are sufficient to serve as an equivalent to light armour. They often wield hammers, clubs, and other crushing weapons as opposed to slicing weapons. They do use piercing weapons like spears and bows. All of their shields and blunt weapons are spiked.===

History
===You see, the Saurians are very isolated, and like it that way. Long ago, most races ended up finding their island at some point or other. Almost all of them, at first, viewed the Saurians as barbaric and tried to take parts of the jungle. All outsiders were eventually driven out. There was, however, a group of Avari Elves that found the place by mistake, but they were kind to the Saurians. These Elves eventually left, but from then on, a belief was ingrained within Saurian culture: the Elves are good. No one else can be trusted.===

Territory
On the map at the top of the page, the Saurians own all the white-coloured territory. None of the trade routes outside of their own island are in effect due to their highly isolationist nature.

So, that city directly central to the four others is called Tlaxtan. It is the Capital. The one you can see in the picture. It is the only place with a temple tall enough to raise Razordons. It is also called The Moon-City.

The one to the northwest of Tlaxtan is called Tehenhauin.

The one to the northeast of Tlaxtan is called Ten-Zlati.

The one to the southeast of Tlaxtan is called Konquata.

The one to the east of Tlaxtan is called Xlanhaupec.

Be warned that the vast jungles of this island are extremely hot and humid, and there are many diseases and flora and fauna alike that make this land very deadly for non-Saurians. Speaking of which...

Flora and Fauna
Flora: A whole lot of super bright green and bright other coloured plants and very tall trees with loads of vines. It is a jungle. There is also a whole lot of really vibrant and sweet tropical fruit. And corn. These would be valuable commodities when traded. The jungles also have a lot of flowers, and some poisonous plants.

Fauna: What makes this place the death trap that it is. The land is full of disease carrying flying and crawling insects, and many poisonous snakes. But that's a much less pressing threat than the island's... larger inhabitants.

Dinosaurs.

There are varying sizes of dinosaurs. There's one much like a raptor but with no arms called a Cold One. While in the wild they are clever and fast hunters, when tamed by the Saurians they serve as cavalry. There's also the Salamander, which is a beast of labour much like an ox. There are also Stegadons, huge and lumbering creatures with large plated skin and a howdah on the back. This howdah contains space for 10 Saurus blowgunners or archers, and one to operate the huge mounted crossbow. They have a large flying dinosaur called a Razordon, so named because of its wicked sharp claws and beak, which can only be bred at the top of Tlaxtan's main temple. They are highly valued, and only the most skilled of pilots have the privilege of riding one of these fantastic beasts. And finally, Carnosaurs, which are like slightly smaller Tyrranosauruses, and they serve as the mounts of generals and other high ranking warriors (when tamed of course, which is extremely difficult).
