Slann

The Slann are a race created by the Old Ones as their servants and companions, and as the rulers of the Lizardmen. It is unknown if the Slann first travelled across the stars to Earth with the Old Ones, or if the Old Ones created them once they reached their destination.

Known as "Magi-Priests", they are supremely gifted with an innate ability to control the Winds of Magic that surpasses even that of the Elves: even the weakest of the Slann are some of the most powerful magic users in the world.

Overview
Large frog-like creatures, Slann seem to resemle the amphibians of our world with a multitude of coloured skin tones and markings. Though it is rarely their bloated bodies ever leave the magical floating palanquins they sit on, a Slann would stand slightly shorter than a Human. Like all the Lizardmen, and many of the creatures in South America itself, Slann are cold-blooded creatures, whose unflinching fortitude comes at the price of the swift reaction times and swift wit of the warm-bloods. Slann have no gender, and were spawned from primordial pools.

The Slann serve to interpret the will of the Old Ones, and to direct the enactment of the Great Plan. The other forms of Lizardmen are unflinchingly loyal to the Slann, and owe them incredible respect, and deference in all things. The Saurus Temple Guard are particularly devoted to their protection. The Slann are some of the few truly immortal creatures in the world, no Slann has ever died of old age, and they see time differently to short-lived mortal creatures such as Elves (who usually live until around four thousand years of age). Often Slann will sleep for centuries or millennia at a time, going without sustenance in a meditative state to divine the will of their creators, and whole generations of Skink attendants may go without ever hearing a Slann speak.

The Five Generations
A slann is categorized by what generation of Slann they are. A fifth generation slann is the lowest, and it will be less then 500 years old. A fourth generation is 500-1000. A third is 1000-1350, and second is 1350-2000. The oldest and most powerful generation is the first generation and they are over 2000 years old.
