Lionfolk

The Lionfolk

The lionfolk, tall, powerful people with the manes of lions and claws to match, farm the reeds that grow along the Shoviaad. These reeds become baskets, toys, and even weapons, which they trade in the markets of Holdurin's Rest with emissaries all the way from Rendgarde. They are a peaceful people, though they often rise to violence against the dangers of the mighty river dragons that prowl the waters, massive, 30 foot long flightless scaly beasts that breathe acid. They hold a long-standing rivalry with the lizardfolk, and often come to blows over treatment of the river dragons. Where the lizardfolk are far more docile, the lionfolk remain generally peaceful and welcoming, though they are quick to draw a blade and fight with ferocity and elation.
