Amaxyn

The Amaxyn are homeless folk. They were driven out of their homes by the Kalashtar expansion. They wander the eastern world looking for new homes but being refused. Their frightening appearance of scales and bristles along with large teeth make many very wary of them. The only two counties known to accept them are the Tetrarchy of Sheid and select parts of the Confederacy of Emperors. They have the same mindset as other lizardfolk, along with their hardiness.

Naming Traditions

Unisex names

Lizardfolk take their names from the draconic language. They use simple descriptives granted by the tribe based on an individual's notable deeds or actions. For example, Oblann translates to "death", a name given to an Amaxyn who has slain many an enemy. Lizardfolk make no distinction between male and female in their naming conventions. Each example name includes its translation in parenthesis. Deyra (fiend), Dovah (dragon), Graag (green), Hadrim (mind), Hahkun (axe), Jun (King/leader) Kein (war), Kun (light), Lah (magic), Mal (small), Lovaas (music), Oblann (death), Quah (armor), Raan (animal), Sos (blood), Strun (storm), Tahrovrin (danger/deception), Tu (hammer), Ved (black), Vokun (shadow), Yuvon (gold/rich)

Common Etiquette rules

Lizardfolk don't have much common etiquette beyond: Don't cause trouble if the result is not desirable, be friendly to other creatures to facilitate alliance to make survival easier.

Common Dress code

Amaxyn have no understanding of art or fashion, so they only things that help them, such as warm clothes, backpacks, and armor.

Art & Architecture

There is no Amaxyn art beyond star charts, which they use to navigate. Their architecture is primarily underground adobe and sandstone abodes, usually circular.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

Lizardfolk do not appreciate beauty, only practicality. Those that are the strongest, largest, and/or most gifted are considered the best mates.

Gender Ideals

Lizardfolk, including Amaxyn, do not differentiate between males and females, only the strong and the weak.

Courtship Ideals

There is not much courtship among the Amaxyn. Those considered good mates are mated with, and then they separate. The stronger parent protects the eggs, but that is it.
