Dray

From UTRPG

The dray are a race of lizard-like or dragon-like humanoids, originally created from humans, and living in and near Giustenal.

Dregoth the Ravager created the first generation shortly before the city fell to the forces of Abalach-Re, the Grand Vizier of Raam. After his fall, he banished them to Kragmorta and created a second generation.

Both generations are scaled, resistant to fire, and stronger than humans.

The first generation are warped and generally not particularly intelligent. They have deadly claws and can breath fire. Their society reflects only four life paths: thief, priest, psion and warrior. Their population was recently about 400, but this fell to 200 as the "Spirit of Kragmorta" lured half their population to New Giustenal. Many of their bodies were found, undead, in that city. The heroes recruited about half of them to their oasis, making first-generation dray available as player characters.

The second generation live in New Giustenal appear to be perfectly formed. They are seemingly intelligent and usually have psychic powers. They have templars (who have yellow scales on the backs of their neck to determine "rank") and understand arcane magic. Their population is about 3000, and about 350 of them are templars, with about 50 kalin-riders. Their society has a high templar Mon-Adderath and a "high priest" Absalom as well (Absalom is a slightly lower-level templar).
