Kal'Ichik and the Covenant

In the deeps of time, after Kal'Ichik decided it was time for him to leave and make way for a new generation of leadership, he sat and dictated The Covenant to his followers, the patriarchs of the time. He did so with precise language and easily understood phraseology, knowing it would have to stand the test of time through an oral tradition. Many hundreds of years later, it was all written down by an enterprising scribe of Osses, goddess of the swamps of Tellus.

Summary

It has passed through legend and into myth, settling somewhere within the Taishando Lizardfolk's social consiousness as a loose code of morals.

Publicly this myth is met with skepticism and scorn, although deep down many lizardfolk believe some part of The Covenant to be true.
