Newtlings of Helca (lizardfolk, troglodytes, etc.)
The Newtlings of Helca are the progeny of the Draconis of the Steel Realms. The Dragon Born (now extinct), dragonnewts, dragonlings, Lizardfolk, Troglodyte, and the other minor species that once worshiped them and enhanced their power are long faded from the Helca. The lizard folk still venerate their ancient kin and are allies when needed, but most real dragons are gone from Helca.
The Clash of Tails
Whip Tails vs. Weighty Tails: The violent clashes of the Lizard Folk (weighty tails) and the Troglodytes (whip tails) decimated their populations over time. When the Dragon Caves of the south were purgesd, most of both Newtlings of the realms were purged from the area. There are still a few colonies of Lizard Folk on the western shores of The Roj Sea. Otherwise they are scattered all over the realms in small communities, usually now where they can form alliances with druids. They also find salt water marshes good homes as their hardened scale or stench secretions keep the disease carrying insects at bay. These names exist as they reflect the evolution of the particular species on Helca. Their tail movements tell more about their emotions than any other part of their body:
Draconic Mystics:Both species still have a tie to their ancient Draconic heritage and leverage the Draconic spark and venerate the Ur-Dragon spirits. Their shamans can awaken the land around them, turning trees, brush, and plants into defenses and watchers. The lizard folk are far more potent in their mystic endeavors, but also less violent and aggressive.
The Whip Tails (troglodytes) vs. The Weighty Tails (lizard folk)
These two species have come to hate each other. The troglodytes choose allies that have caused them to retreat further from the lands of light, while the Lizardfolk have tried to simply stay out of the awareness and not participate with larger societies. At least being helpful to avoid conflict has been the approach they typically take. They cannot understand why the world wont just leave them alone, as they try not to compete for resources.
