RACE: Gargan
The origins of the Gargan race are shrouded in mystery.
A race of reptilian humanoids, the Gargan organize themselves in tribes, mostly inhabiting territories around Tynard and the Atanaaq Peninsula. A sub-race of seafaring Gargan inhabit the Ilqarrain Islands. Gargan mix with northern grakthal tribes and humans, mostly civil towards both races to achieve their own ends. They tolerate the Callenthi but don’t consider themselves ruled by them, even though Callenthi could crush them in a heartbeat. A great fear of humans is that the Deorvold Grakthal and the Gargan will form an alliance and attempt to attack Cylestol.
The Gargan have a large frontal cortex and are incredibly intelligent. Like their ancestors, they excel in deception, perception and insight, and will often try to talk or finagle their way out of a situation rather than fight their way out. However, if they are drawn into combat they have a few tricks at their disposal. A nasty bite, and a venemous saliva which can cause extreme illness in all races, including Callenthi.
The Gargan’s closest allies are the grakthal, but in reality they do not think much of these “burrowing half-men”, only working with them to further their own interests.
