Desert Sandtail lizards make their homes in the vast arid deserts, which are not found very often on Jaern. Instead of adapting themselves to the water, these lizards have adapted to a dry lifestyle, but suffer from a decreased ability to maintain homeostasis. Instead of needing to immerse themselves, these lizards must take time out of their day to regulate their body temperature with their environment. The Poor Homeostasis quirk of Desert Sandtails requires them to spend one hour each day warming their bodies. This can be done during long rests, but requires the lizard to remain idle while the temperature around them is between 70-120°F (21-49°C). If they do not do this, they suffer one damage point every 3 hours as their body functions begin to wane. These lizards live in small groups in underground caves or burrows, where the temperature is cooler, and take time each day to bask in the warm sun. They hunt in small packs by burrowing under the sands and using their tremor sense to detect prey. Since they rely primarily on tremor sense to hunt, their eyesight has degraded somewhat. Desert Sandtails have a very materialistic culture, which they share with their Semi-Aquatic cousins, and barter in goods such as sculpture, dyed fabrics, pottery, glass, and paintings.

Kleemudor Purebloods live on the frozen planet of Kleemudor, which is covered with week-long blizzards and a highly reflective surface which causes temperatures to remain below freezing, even at the equator. Adapted to the cold, the Kleemudor Purebloods make homes in large caverns dug into the ice. The thin atmosphere of Kleemudor selected out psionically inclined members of the society, who could communicate with others mentally. Unfortunately, this also inclined them towards being more susceptible to psionics. A caste system implemented in their history helped the Purebloods to achieve further psionic abilities, but diluted their natural venomous capabilities, while the “non-pure” Kleemudor lizards were expelled from society to the surface and eventually evolved into vicious predators with more powerful deadly venom and killer instincts. The Kleemudor Purebloods value reason and logic and the expanding of one’s psionic aptitude as tenets of their society. They are taught from a young age to stifle emotions and lean on logic to achieve greatness and respect. Because of this, many Kleemudor Purebloods see other races as volatile and dangerous, unpredictable and untrustworthy, and therefore have remained isolationist. Kleemudor Purebloods have an 80% chance to have access to psionics (choose two numbers to exclude on a d10 and roll).

The lizards of Draconic Lineage live beneath mountains in dark caverns, kept there when the dragons sealed themselves away. Until recently, they were unaware that the dragons have returned, and operated under the assumption that humans and other races would hunt them and kill them if they revealed themselves. However, a mining expedition in Kratal stumbled across a civilization of Draconic lizards, living in an ornate citadel of stone lit by colorful braziers of Pho’dite. Lizards of differently colored scales were found, all hailing from various draconic ancestors that grant them a breath weapon and resistance to a type of damage. They grew farms of subterranean fungi along with raising large, thick skinned, blind, bull-like creatures for meat. Their legends tell of great dragons, which imbued their essesses into particular gemstones.

Shell-Bearer lizards are hatched from eggs on remote islands, and very soon leave their home beaches and caves to venture out. They live for very long lives and spend years simply learning and exploring the world around them, but prefer to avoid large settlements and instead live mostly solitary lives, before eventually returning to their home with a lifetime of stories and experiences to tell their children.
