Tribe of the Ashen Fang
Ashen Fang: The only tribe to be nocturnally active, they are one wrapped in mystery. No one knows why this group has adapted to seeing in the dark. The other tribes believe they were made this way after accepting some dark dealings. Some outsiders say they don’t believe this as their god or gods would have told them or given insight into these dealings. While others agree, as their magic and natural aptitudes do not appear among the other Lizardfolk. Then again none of these claims can be confirmed as the only three tribes who know where the Ash Fang live are the Glint Eyes, Crag Jumpers, and Dancing Leafs. Permission to be guided to them is very solemnly given to outsiders.
Despite their name, Ashen Fang appear in several different colours for their scales adorned with tattoos of various styles and colours. The general colours of scales are whites, blacks, and greys; while each colour has a different . White scales are more serpent-like with fins, black scales have crocodile skin that have a light dimming property, and grey scales have what many say shark-like skin with whiskers. The tattoos and colour depict what their roles are in their society, but no one has yet to categorize them all as of yet. Their most disguised features are their fangs, protruding and slightly longer fangs from the rest of their teeth.
What is known of the Ashen Fang, they are comprised of warriors, wizards, rogues, clerics, warlocks, archers, and bards. Along with an affinity for light and dark magics, they value wisdom and knowledge, nearly craving it. This in turn led to the tribe being governed by three bodies having reserved coloured tattoos. The three spiritual leaders adorned with gold, and the three counsellors adorned in silver, and finally the chief was given both gold and silver. Each leader is picked off merit and the chief is selected from both the leaders and besting the current chief. Going off the idea of the body (counsellors), soul (spiritual leaders), and heart (chief) must function as one. They are one of the larger tribes even as a minor tribe, having numbers equal to a major tribe and two sometimes three minor tribes. Mostly due to having settlements underground, and only fighting other tribes at night where they have the advantage.
