Slith
Background
At the time of the Second Age of Serin, new races were created to fill its lands. One such race was made by Zafrin, and known as slith. It looked much like the lizards that made their home in the muddy swamps of northeast Serin, not far from the homelands of early giants. The sliths made their small homes in the same place, but left them not long after to adventure. A sentient race of humanoid lizardmen, lacking the brute strength of their giant neighbours but agile on their feet, the foundations of a provisional slith society followed much later, though little interaction was ever made between these self-sufficient reptilian creatures. Their tribes divided, sliths found their ways to every part of Serin but remaining without a guarded settlement of their own.
Roleplaying
Present day sliths are often found adventuring by themselves, selling their talents to others that can afford their services. They rarely travel with others, even of their own race, a trait passed down from their cold-blooded ancestors. Sliths are natural wanderers, bringing them into contact with every guild in Serin, and their love for exploration has given them an edge in combat in the form of their tail, which they may use to fight with, as well as traits such as swallowing corpses and shedding their skin to make a getaway. However, their lack of want for association with other races throughout history has caused them to be lacking in spiritual and magical potential where others are not. It is for this reason that sliths restrict themselves to joining only the warrior guild.

Variants
Lamia
Slith Variant
Cursed serpentine beings with the upper body of a human and lower half of a snake.
Background
Lamias are a sinister, serpentine people of the desert wastes. They possess the upper body of an attractive human and the lower body of a massive serpent. They are known for their hypnotic gazes, dark magic, and a cruel delight in toying with their prey.
Roleplaying
Lamias are seductive, manipulative, and deeply cruel. They enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the despair of their victims. Roleplay a Lamia with a smooth, hypnotic cadence, using flattery and charm to disarm opponents before striking with lethal venom and crushing coils.
Draconian
Slith Variant
Fierce bipedal dragon-kin bred from corrupted eggs for eternal warfare.
Background
Created through ancient, dark rituals that infused reptilian eggs with dragon blood, Draconians are fiercely loyal, militaristic warriors. They possess tough scales, vestigial wings, and a brutal efficiency in combat. They often serve as shock troops or commanders for dark armies, driven by an innate desire to conquer.
Roleplaying
Draconians are stoic, disciplined, and utterly ruthless. They lack empathy and view the world purely in terms of power dynamics and objectives. Roleplay a Draconian as a cold, calculating warrior who speaks little, acts decisively, and fights to the death without hesitation.
