Aerthalas

A tall, slender male Lizardman with dark green scales and piercing yellow eyes. He wears a robe made of woven reeds and adorned with charms made from bones and feathers. His head is crowned with a circlet of twisted vines, and his long, forked tongue flickers out as he speaks, giving him an air of mystique. His hands are often stained with the remnants of herbs and potions, a testament to his practice of the old swamp magics.

Ssarth is shrewd and resourceful, often using his wit to navigate complex situations. He is deeply respectful of the spirits of the swamp and believes in the importance of maintaining harmony with nature. However, he can be ruthless when it comes to protecting his people and their traditions. He speaks with a slow, deliberate cadence, often pausing to consider his words carefully before sharing his insights. His demeanor is calm and collected, but there is an underlying intensity in his gaze that reveals his passion for the old magics.

Ssarth Viletongue is a cunning priest-leader of the ancient swamp tribes, revered for his deep connection to the old swamp magics that flow through the murky waters of Aerthalas. He was born under a blood moon, which marked him as a chosen one among his people, destined to protect the secrets of the swamp and its spirits. As a child, he learned the ways of the swamp from his grandmother, a powerful shaman, who taught him to commune with the spirits of nature and harness their power. Now, as a leader, he guides his tribe with wisdom and cunning, using his knowledge of the old magics to heal, protect, and sometimes manipulate the forces of nature to maintain the balance in a world slipping into decay.
