Yithania

Background

They hate you. They’ve always hated you. Not your own people, but the rest of them. The ones from the surface. They fear you and believe you will do them harm and maybe even eat them if given half the chance.

They’re not wrong.

Your subterranean kingdom, ruled by the Grand Dragon, is a mystery to most of Mongo and you all prefer it that way.

However, not all lizard men wish to continue like this. Some of you have been overcome by curiosity knowing there’s a whole world up there to be seen, touched, and tasted. It’s not that those with the desire to leave the Kiran caverns are forbidden to do so, it’s that for many, the safety and security of the nest is more than enough. Beyond the cave mouths lie untold dangers. It is better to remain in the dark tunnels, only venturing outside when the larders need replenishing.

But you are curious and you have witnessed Ming’s cruelty firsthand. Every third month, well-armed and well-armored imperials enter the tunnels and capture lizard men for use in the fighting pits. You have watched as friends have been dragged off in cruel nets, stunned to unconsciousness with shocksticks, never to be seen or heard from again.

The last time that happened, you followed them out and watched as they boarded their airships and rocketed west to Mingo City. You crouched in silence for what seemed like hours and then opted to set off by foot on a fool’s errand to rescue those prisoners from Ming’s clutches.

And what makes you think that you alone could make a difference? Because you were born with rare talents. Talents of the mind that make you special and perhaps capable of finding and freeing your reptilian comrades from their cells.
