Zanle

Zanle
The Zanle are a race of reptilians who lay claim to The Evianian Confederacy. They are an uplifted race who had surpassed their up-lifters, the Valkyrie, who had uplifted them to only be slaves.

Appearance
The Zanle are tall hunched reptiles who bare some feral in their appearance due to the speed in which they were uplifted.

They usually stand at 8 to 9 feet tall and have a long and powerful tail with spikes to counter balance their gait.

Spines line their backs,which end at the base of their tail. The scales are the natural armor of them as well. Scale colors are usually green, however some Zanle can get colorful with a variety of colors and scale patterns.

They have powerful legs with claws on their hands and feet that could even puncture the heaviest of metals. A kick from a Zanle usually results in the person who got kicked, being hospitalized.

Society
The Zanle people are primarily spiritual and ritualistic. They follow Shamans to guide them. The people live in tight-nit communities, and prosper in trade and preservation. They are legendary storytellers in which they carry on stories of the stars.

The Shaman is the head of each family, and a moot is held with other families to discuss the future of their people. Usually on nights of new moons and full moons, young Zanle gather around a bonfire, where a shaman tells stories, usually their origin story to bring their spirits up. They are told to treat everyone equally, even other races, despite their carnivorous history. Some young Zanle travel to other worlds to act as bards.
