Lizardfolk {Erethes}
Lizardfolk are a race of humanoid crocodile people, Created by the Stre' Kartaa god Sobek, Because he wanted a race that bore his likeness, They continue to be one of the most fascinating races on Erethes for most historians.
Adhering to their ancient ideals and religion, The Lizardfolk of Erethes are a tribal and traditional people, Often only caring for their own. Most Lizardfolk follow a vague lifeforce housed inside of a large tree named "The Great Oak". They often refer to the force as this as well, They believe that it has planned all of their lives already and that whatever has and will happen is pre-destined. They believe that the Great Oak guides them, In life and in battle, Often thanking it for making their lives possible at all.
However, There is another group of Lizardfolk on Erethes. While the first group mainly resides in the Unknown Regions, These lizardfolk live in Stre' Kaas, And while some of them still believe in the Great Oak, There are a lot that focus on the Stre' Kaas lifestyle, Often following Sobek or one of his fellow pantheon members, Choosing to live in modern society.
