Ssliks
The Sslik are a reptilian race that, apart from the Dragons, exhibit some of the most alien physiology in comparison to the other Living Races. The most predominant of these alien features is their asexual nature— the species is completely lacking in gender. All Sslik are able to lay eggs and hatch young. Throughout history, the Sslik have existed in a fairly nomadic way, and have often been considered pariah by the other races. Their arrival in the jungles of southern Aradoth Minor during the Age of the Warrior-King was not a peaceable one; the Sslik were hunted down by most of the other Living Races, and even to this day are considered by some as barbarians and savages. The Sslik sought refuge in perhaps one of the most inhospitable places in Istaria, having been expelled from nearly all their other places of habitation.
The Saris were the first race to treat the Sslik as anything resembling equals, and to this day the Sslik and Saris share a mutual trust and sense of cooperation with each other. In what may be a very interesting twist of fate, the Sslik have been spared most of the brunt of the assault by the Withered Aegis due to their location on Aradoth Minor. The Sslik’s former persecutors, however, have endured many hardships during the Age of Lamentation on the main continent. The Sslik, while eager to help the Living Races during this time of need, make no secret that they have not forgotten the cruelty they have suffered at the hands of others. Now that the Sslik are in a much stronger position than these other Living Races, only time will tell if they seek a path of enlightenment as their Saris friends teach, or a path of vengeance against their former persecutors.
The Sslik are reptilian-stock beings that are genderless, reproducing in an asexual manner. They are extremely strong and focused beings, and they prize equally their exceptional abilities as Warriors and Healers, calling upon both skills to aid their people in times of need.
