- | The sleestak are an ancient race; those alive are only degenerate reminders | + | |
- | of what they once were. Once they were powerful and terrifying as they raided | + | |
- | all along the waterways of Lost Souls, but that was long ago. Even farther | + | |
- | back in the reaches of time they were one of the peoples who formed the Istax | + | |
- | Empire, along with the [[dracon]], the [[zuth]], and the lost s'tali. After the fall | + | |
- | of that realm, the sleestak reverted to barbarism, but retained much skill and | + | |
- | power. In the following centuries, though, the great swamps that were their | + | |
- | homes were diminishing, drying out and being drained. The formation of the | + | |
- | Great Rift reversed this process with the creation of the Blackwater, but by | + | |
- | this time the greatness of the sleestak had been lost. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In the present age, the sleestak have gone from barbarism back to savagery, | + | |
- | their cultures barely greater than that of the most primitive of tribal bands. | + | |
- | Their intellects, never renowned, are generally low to moronic. They live in | + | |
- | small villages of twenty or thirty individuals. These are not organized along | + | |
- | family lines like most human tribes, for the sleestak do not have a concept | + | |
- | of family; for them there is only the individual and the community. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In shape, sleestak are powerful, humanoid reptiles. The average male is | + | |
- | seven feet tall from the top of the head to the tip of the toe. They | + | |
- | seldom stand fully erect, however, walking hunched over or on all fours. Their | + | |
- | hands and feet have long, finger-like talons with webbing in between. Their | + | |
- | faces have powerful lizard-like snouts. They have no noses, only breathing | + | |
- | nostrils set above their large, lidless eyes. Their bodies are covered in | + | |
- | thick, alligator-like leather, ridged and spiny down the back, soft and supple | + | |
- | on the underside. Sleestak skin is various shades of greens, browns and | + | |
- | yellows, giving them a natural camouflage in the reedy waterways of the swamp. | + | |
- | Their massive tail is noted for its usefulness in combat, but their speed and | + | |
- | agility are unimpressive. Sleestak live very short lives, growing quite old | + | |
- | at fifty years. They speak the Hithal tongue, usually have some fragments of | + | |
- | old Assarith, the tongue of the Istax Empire, and know little else of the | + | |
- | arts of speaking. | + | |
