Salamar

In the ancient days of Ax'oloth, the wise salamar nurtured a mystical bond with nature and with one another. They shared their experiences and emotions as if they were one consciousness, and they lived in a state of transcendent harmony. This oneness was ripped away from them five thousand years ago when the enigmatic Aldan Thei unleashed the Auroboros' catastrophic power. The destructive energies incinerated Ax'oloth and snuffed out the salamar's communal link.
Even after so many millennia, the salamar still feel the ache of what was lost. The emptiness haunts them. Most salamar have turned to alchemy, botany, and even the arcane arts to restore the bond they once shared. They spend their whole lives experimenting and recording their research. Their natural patience and profound intellect make them experts in these fields, and salamar are highly sought after for their elixirs, potions, and compounds of rare herbs.
The salamar are happy to share their knowledge, but they have earned a reputation for being somewhat indifferent and aloof to outsiders. So focused on their lofty experiments, they struggle to assimilate into Lawbrand's society and create lasting friendships. Tragically, their obsession with the past has blinded them to the present-and the potential for developing the emotional connections they truly long for.
Often seen as aloof or uninterested to others, salamar are incredibly clever lizard-like humanoids who excel in alchemy and biology. Though these skills have their uses in day-to-day life, the salamar employ them to connect to their mystic origins and uncover the secrets of their past.
Salamar appear as diminutive lizard-folk, akin to bipedal geckos. They have smooth, rubbery skin, long tails, and large, round black eyes. Their bodies can have a broad range of natural color patterns and striping some of these being distinctive of different tribes or family groups. They tend to move slowly and deliberately. Their facial expressions are often unreadable causing many to believe that the curious race is aloof and disconnected from the day-to-day realities of Lawbrand...
